Elsy commented: "It's not an easy decision to leave Torotrak at such an exciting time when our plans are really starting to deliver, but I've been asked to take a leading role in the Government's aims to rebalance the UK economy towards high value manufacturing and it's something I want to do on a personal level."
Torotrak shares were down 2.3% at 09:45 but have gained over 5% since the start of the year.
