Director leaves as FishWorks talks continue

Troubled restaurant group and fishmonger FishWorks saw its shares slump by more than 30% today after it announced that finance director Ratnesh Bagdai had resigned with immediate effect.

The Bristol-based company, which has 12 restaurants around the UK, also advised that its annual accounts, due to be distributed to shareholders tomorrow, will include a statement from its auditors regarding the group’s “ability to continue as a going concern”.
