STOCK WATCH

ONLINE ticketing business Accesso, which is used by theme parks, ski resorts and music festivals, plunged as it announced its executive chairman would be stepping back.

Tom Burnet, who was credited with driving ‘significant growth’ at the business, will now take the role of nonexecutive director.

The business was also battered as it said it would incur £1.3m of costs relating to an acquisition it decided not to pursue. Shares fell 37.6pc, or 560p, to 930p.
