In a letter dated 15th November 2019, LMS-Patriot Project Members were informed by the Company that the Board's Chairman David Bradshaw had resigned after the Company's November AGM. The Engineering Director Steve Blackburn had tendered his resignation a few days later.
The Board has expressed grateful thanks to David Bradshaw without whom the LMS-Patriot Project might have remained nothing more than a fond hope: his vision and contribution has been a major factor in the impressive progress made since 2008. The Board also fully acknowledges Steve Blackburn’s service and contribution throughout his 11 years as a Director.
