Datalex closes in on new CFO as shares fall further

Troubled travel software company Datalex is closing in on landing a new chief financial officer and is expected to announce the appointment early next month.

Shares in the company - which provides retail software for travel booking firms and airlines like Aer Lingus and Lufthansa - slumped by around 20% after it said it will miss the end-of-April regulatory deadline for the publication of its 2018 annual results.
