The CEO of Auction Technology Group is to step down after more than a decade in the role.
John-Paul Savant will leave the group, which owns 10 marketplaces and connects auction houses with bidders globally, after a short handover period.
ATG, which also announced its half-year results this morning, said its board is at an advanced stage of its process to appoint a successor.
The London-listed firm recently rejected a remarkable 12 takeover bids from its largest shareholder FitzWalter Capital, the latest for £491 million.
FitzWalter, headquartered in London, slammed the company for failing to grant it access to conduct due diligence and accused the ATG board of ‘extreme value destruction’.
