The reasons for Moore’s sudden departure are unclear.<\/p>\n

He is leaving \u2018on good terms’, said Martyn Everett, executive chairman of the chain which is the UK’s largest high-street photo retailer.<\/p>\n

Everett, who took on the role of chairman from 1 March, said he has ‘no plans to appoint a replacement CEO’.<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018During his time at Jessops, Trevor (pictured below) has built a strong management team and I will be stepping in as executive chairman to support the management team and to lead the business forward.’<\/p>\n

In February, Jessops former chairman David Adams <\/a>stepped down. <\/p>\n

Adams oversaw a turnaround at Jessops which restructured its business and appointed Moore as CEO in 2009.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In June, Jessops said it had made a \u00a30.9m loss<\/a>, after tax, for the
\nyear ended 1 January 2012, according to accounts filed at Companies
\nHouse.<\/p>\n

However, directors pointed out that the chain achieved a
\n1.3% growth in like-for-like sales against a general digital camera
\nmarket decline of 7%. Total turnover rose by 3% to \u00a3236.8m.<\/p>\n

The
\nfirm’s total earnings, before removing factors such as interest,
\ntaxation, depreciation and non-recurring costs, rose to \u00a35.6m, compared
\nto \u00a33.9m the year before.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Jessops was reported
\n to have struck a \u00a310m deal with Canon<\/a>, a claim that both firms
\ndismissed as speculation. <\/p>\n

In April, it was reported<\/a>
\n that HSBC – which owns the majority of Jessops shares<\/a> – had approached
\nUS-based financial restructuring adviser Zolfo Cooper to discuss the
\nfuture of Jessops.<\/p>\n

Last month, Moore sought to dismiss this rumour in an interview with Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP) and other publications<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In a statement issued this morning, Everett said: ‘Over the past three years, the business has re-established itself as the leading speciality retailer and achieved a number of significant milestones.<\/p>\n

‘We have successfully rolled out a new, industry leading, “live store” format. The new stores have widened Jessops market appeal, retaining existing customers and attracting more, younger, older and female customers to the store – extending dwell time and increasing visit frequency.<\/p>\n

‘Our online sales have grown from \u00a38m in 2008, to \u00a376m in 2011 and Jessops has now become recognised as a truly multi-channel retailer. Online accounts for more than 35% of our business and 70% of all online sales are collected at a store.<\/p>\n

‘This provides Jessops with an opportunity to build strong customer relationships and offer improved customer service by offering the appropriate accessories and photo services to compliment the camera purchase.’<\/p>\n

Moore is a former operations director at Coffee Republic. <\/p>\n

His business experience <\/a>has also included jobs at the Thresher Group, Whitbread, Phones 4U and HSBC.<\/p>\n

AP has requested comment on the reason for Moore’s resignation.<\/p>\n
