Intertek Group PLC (LON:ITRK) said on Wednesday chief financial officer Ed Leigh is stepping down with immediate effect.
Group financial controller, Ross McCluskey, will replace Leigh, who leaves after five years at the company.

"It has been an amazing five years for me at Intertek. It is time for me to move into the next part of my own journey and I wish Intertek all the very best for the future,” Leigh said.
McCluskey joined Intertek two years ago and has previously been a finance executive at JP Morgan, Gleacher Shacklock, Greenhill and Inchcape.
The inspection, product testing and certification company also said it would remove an organisational level that would impact roles in IT and finance as well as the company secretary.
Earlier this month, Intertek posted a 1.8% decline in first-half revenue to £1.35bn after a poor performance in the divisions that service the trade and resources industries.
Intertek expects revenues in the resources division, which services the oil and gas sector and mining industry, to deliver a stable revenue performance in the second half and to grow in the “medium to long-term” as commodities recover and the company benefits from investments in exploration and production of oil and minerals.
