Ceres Power was plunged into further uncertainty just weeks after its shares dropped to all-time lows, as its chief executive quit without warning.
Peter Bance resigned as head of the Aim-listed company – which provides fuel cell technology for boilers – "with immediate effect", the company announced yesterday. Brian Count will run the group as executive chairman until a successor to Mr Bance is appointed.
