Badminton England have confirmed the departure of performance director Ian Moss by mutual consent.

Moss took up the role in January 2009 as the organisation looked to act quickly after disappointing results at the Beijing Olympics.

He oversaw the appointment of former European champion Kenneth Jonassen as GB and England men's singles coach, the Dane starting in his role earlier this week, but he now leaves a void that Badminton England will look to fill rapidly, with the World Championships in Paris taking place next month ahead of October's Commonwealth Games.

Badminton England chief executive Adrian Christy said: "Everyone associated with our GB programme would like to thank Ian for his contribution to our world-class system and wish him every success for the future.

"I am fully focused on putting plans into place to replace Ian and hope to make a announcement within the next few days.

"My main concern is to deliver our world-class aspirations and I will not waiver in our endeavours, which include being best prepared for the World Badminton Championships in Paris next month, the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi in October, and the Olympic Games in London in 2012."
