Stephen van Eyk resigns



Leading ratings house founder Stephen van Eyk has resigned from the company that bears his name, van Eyk Research.
Van Eyk’s resignation was announced today, although he remains a significant shareholder in the company and will continue to provide consultancy services until March next year.
The company said that its chief executive officer, Mark Thomas, would continue to manage the company in partnership with other newly-appointed directors.
Van Eyk’s resignation follows just weeks after an announcement that he had stepped aside as chief executive officer in favour of Thomas and that two directors, Sarah Brennan and Stephen Roberts, had resigned.
