BRIDGE Energy said Eystein Westgaard had resigned as chief financial officer of the Aberdeen-based oil and gas company.

AIM-listed Bridge said Mr Westgaard had agreed to stay with the company in his current position until April 16 and would work with the board to assist with an orderly handover. "The board would like to thank Eystein for his contribution to the business during his tenure and wishes him well for the future," said the company. Bridge said the search for a new CFO was under way.
