Morawski will leave his current role on 10th August, after which he will work for the MARU Group on a part-time consultative basis, reporting to CEO Ged Parton, who will assume leadership of Maru/Matchbox. Commenting on the news, Parton said: 'I want to personally thank Ed for his professional contribution in making Matchbox what it is today. He has been a key part of the leadership team for many years and has been instrumental in the development of the business from start-up to the growth-oriented, market leading company we have today. For me above all, Ed is a lovely man. Ed's kind, gentle outlook; his wit, his sense of fun and good humor is universally appreciated. He has all our best wishes as he takes a break from a full time President and COO position'.
