Former account director says he's considering "good opportunities" in the industry

Bastion's UK account director, Mark Ward, has left the company ahead of its restructuring.

"Tough times call for tough choices and my departure will contribute towards the restructuring of a company that I've helped to build and grown to love over the past 13 years," he explained in a message to industry professionals.

Describing the remaining staff at Bastion as an "outstanding and talented team", Ward explained that he leaves the company with fond memories.

"I'm incredibly proud of what our team (past and present) has achieved, and will continue to achieve in the future, and consider myself lucky to have played a role in that success.

"Without exception, I've enjoyed every day at Bastion and that’s entirely down to the clients, journalists and colleagues that I've had the privilege to work with and call friends. For that, I thank all of you."

He concluded: "I'm currently considering some good opportunities in the interactive entertainment industry."
