Appointment of New Auditor
The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Price Bailey LLP as the Company's new statutory auditor for the financial year to 29 February 2024.
This follows the resignation of the Company's previous statutory auditor, Shipleys LLP, due to its decision to withdraw from providing audit services to Public Interest Entity ("PIE") clients. Ajax is classified as a PIE because of its Standard Listing on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.
Shipleys LLP have confirmed that there are no circumstances connected with their ceasing to hold office which they consider should be brought to the attention of the members or creditors of the Company in accordance with Section 519 of the Companies Act 2006.
