High-level shuffles at Forbidden Technologies

Video software owner and developer Forbidden Technologies did some high-level shuffling on Friday, promoting non-executive director David Main to non-executive chairman.

The AIM-traded firm’s founder and current executive chairman, Stephen Streater, was moving into the role of research and development director. Both changes were made with immediate effect.

"I am pleased to take on the further responsibilities as chairman of Forbidden,” said Main of his promotion.

“This is an exciting time for the company given in the last year it has generated real momentum behind the commercial growth of Forscene and launched both eva and Captevate.

The prime focus is to drive the commercial success of our video solutions and I look forward to working closely with Aziz, Stephen and the team, helping spearhead our growth in the years to come,” he added.

Streater said that, as chairman, he was able to support Aziz in his new role as CEO.

"Now Aziz has established himself and is demonstrating his success daily, and with David agreeing to become our chairman, I can focus again on my core area of interest - maintaining our leadership in video technology solutions,” he explained.
