Ilika (AIM: IKA), a pioneer in solid-state battery technology, announces the appointment of Jason Stewart as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") to the Board of Directors, effective as of 3 January 2023.

Jason is a senior Finance Director and Executive with significant commercial experience in the manufacturing sector. Most recently, Jason was the Interim CFO at Sunseeker International ltd where he successfully managed the company through the COVID-19 crisis, managing costs and re-establishing production subsequent to the lockdown.
