ABI chief lobbyist stepping down

The appointed chief lobbyist of the ABI, Jonathan Davis, will not be taking up the post, according to the Financial Times.

Davis was appointed three months ago. The journalist and dot com entrepreneur said he was stepping down from the role of director of investment affairs to spend time on his other projects.

Davis is also a non-executive director of Brazilian farm land operator Agrifirma.

The ABI still lacks a permanent director-general after Kerrie Kelly left in July 2010.
