(Reuters) - Britain’s troubled outsourcer Interserve Group Ltd said on Wednesday its finance chief Mark Whiteling had resigned after being in the post since Oct. 2017.

Whiteling’s resignation comes weeks after the debt-laden company was placed in administration following a rescue plan that was rejected by its shareholders.

The statement confirms Sky News report that said Whiteling resigned to pursue his non-executive career.
