Shareholder approval ratings for polling giant YouGov fell today after the firm’s founder and CEO said he is to step away from the role to become non-executive chair .
Shares dropped 5% to 780p in early trading after Stephan Shakespeare, who co-founded YouGov with former Conservative Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi in 2000, said he would move into the role of chair following the departure of Roger Parry, who will step down from the position next year.
