Edward Davenport released the following statement following the lifting of reporting restrictions on 5 October 2011:

"I was shocked and dismayed to be convicted for my alleged involvement in
a fraud involving Gresham Limited.

This is a matter that I have denied throughout and have already lodged an appeal against this conviction at the Royal Courts of Justice (ref 201103357D3); detailed grounds of appeal have been drafted and filed by
my legal team.

During the relevant period I was involved in numerous successful business transactions.

Since the age of 16 I have been a successful entrepreneur; as well as being
an event and party promoter I have invested in many successful business ventures and will continue to do so.

Regardless of this setback my business interests remain unaffected with a strong management team in place to ensure that they continue to flourish.
This team will also ensure that the charities I support do not suffer during this difficult time.

I will continue to make every effort to prove my innocence and I look forward to my case being considered by the Court of Appeal and being able to clear my name.”
