In a state­ment is­sued by the Group yes­ter­day, Dy­er-Grif­fith said that her res­ig­na­tion "comes af­ter a great amount of thought and con­sid­er­a­tion."

"She ad­vised that while she has thor­ough­ly en­joyed the op­por­tu­ni­ty to make a pro­fes­sion­al con­tri­bu­tion to the Group, an op­por­tu­ni­ty has again pre­sent­ed it­self to make a na­tion­al and po­lit­i­cal con­tri­bu­tion, and she will be pro­gress­ing the op­por­tu­ni­ty," the state­ment read.

In the state­ment, Dy­er-Grif­fith thanked the Group ex­ec­u­tive, man­ag­ing di­rec­tors and gen­er­al man­agers "for their in­cred­i­ble sup­port."
