Harland & Wolff: Finance chief resigns from Belfast shipyard

Trading in Harland & Wolff shares has been suspended since the start of July after the firm missed a deadline to publish independently audited accounts.

Last month the firm agreed a new $25m (£19.5m) loan with its US lender, which it said would support the “ongoing stabilisation” of the heavily loss-making business.

Harland & Wolff employs about 1,500 people in the UK.

Its main site is in Belfast and it also has yards at Appledore in the west of England, and at Methil and Arnish in Scotland.

Mr Downs has been in charge since the former chief executive John Wood stood down in July.

A strategic review of the company is being led by Mr Downs with the assistance of experts from Rothschild Bank.

That process is likely to lead to the company being sold.
