Chocs away for finance director Allen
Thorntons finance director Martin Allen has left the confectionery company. No replacement has been announced and no reason was given for his departure.
Recently appointed Thorntons chairman Chris Burnett said: 'The Board would like to thank Martin for his contribution to the development of Thorntons and wish him well for the future.'
In September, the company posted a 9.6 per cent rise in preliminary pre-tax profit to£7 million on sales up 6.9 per cent to£178.7 million.
However, Allen's link with the company is not entirely severed, because he owns a 0.05 per cent stake in the retailer. His personal investment in the company stands at about£60,000.
