Passing of Group CFO Fern MacDonald

It is with deep sadness that accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO) announces that Fern MacDonald, the Group's CFO, passed away on 12 August following an unflinching battle with cancer. The thoughts of all at accesso are with Ms. MacDonald's family at this time.

As the Group mourns the loss of Ms. MacDonald, Matthew Boyle, the Group's current VP Finance, will assume the role of Interim CFO effective immediately. Mr. Boyle is an experienced practitioner who has been with the Group for 5 years, serving two of those as Ms. MacDonald's deputy. Prior to accesso, Mr. Boyle was with BDO UK LLP for 8 years.

Bill Russell, accesso Non-Executive Chairman, said:

"On behalf of the Accesso Board I would like to express my sincere condolences to Fern's family. Quite apart from being a model CFO she was an outstanding person whose contribution to the Company was immeasurable. She will be sorely missed by all."

Steve Brown, accesso CEO, said:

"We are heartbroken at the passing of Fern, our beloved colleague and dear friend. Her commitment to her work and dedication to our team inspired all of us to strive for excellence. 

On a personal level, she was my trusted advisor with incredible intelligence and unmatched determination. She faced this health challenge with the same unyielding courage and strength that we all admired in her. I feel fortunate to have worked alongside her and she will be profoundly missed. Our hearts go out to her husband, son, and her entire family."
