Pebble Beach Systems Group plc previously announced that it was the intention of Oliver Ellingham to step down. However, he agreed to stay on until such time as the processes associated with the sale of VCS to xG Technology Inc. (xG Technology) were completed and he will now step down at the end of the year. At senior management level, the board has received notice of Ian Cockett's resignation. Ian is the group's chief technology officer and a founder of Pebble Beach Systems Ltd, the group's continuing business acquired in 2014. Ian will remain with the business during his notice period of six months and will be retained as an adviser to the company following his departure.
