Symphony's chief executive, Michael Laurier said the company hopes to appoint “a new individual to provide fresh impetus at this exciting time with more governments legislating against the manufacture of non-biodegradable plastics".

The group noted that Deva has resigned after 18 years as a director to allow him to concentrate commercially on his "extensive global connections", now permitted following the end of his tenure as a member of the European Parliament in July. 

However, the company said Deva has agreed to continue as a special ambassador for the company. In this role, the firm added, he will focus on "his many high-level connections and seek to unlock and create additional revenues for Symphony".
