Paul Ephremsen the director representing owners on the GBGB has resigned with immediate effect.

He have given two fold reasons for his decision:

– the “significant challenges” within his business combined with the hours involved in his role within GBGB

– criticism from within the board who “have not appreciated some of the blogs and columns I have written in the last few months.”

Fellow director Pete Harnden said: “I am absolutely gutted at Paul’s decision, I think he has done an excellent job, though I do understand that his business has to come first. I intend to keep fighting for what I believe in.”
