The Board of Directors welcomes Ian Dighé as the new Chair of the Seneca Growth Capital VCT. Ian brings to the position extensive senior Board level and public market experience, including as the Chair of a number of investment companies.

Ian Dighé commented: “John has been with the Company since 2001 and his experience and advice have been immensely valued. On behalf of the Board and shareholders, I would like to thank him for his many years of leadership and wish him well in his retirement.”

The Board of Directors has also appointed Mary Anne Cordeiro as Senior Independent Director following her election at today’s AGM. Mary Anne Cordeiro previously served as Senior Independent Director of Albion Technology & General VCT prior to her retirement in 2023.
