Commenting on the appointment, Alex Hambro, Chairman of Judges,
said:
"With great nostalgia, the Board announces that Ralph Cohen has
decided to retire at the end of the year after 18 years with
Judges, initially as finance director and latterly as a
non-executive director. His contribution to the Group and its
culture has been invaluable and he has overseen a period of
substantial corporate growth and increase in shareholder value.
We are delighted to welcome Sue to Judges. She brings extensive
public company and governance experience to the Board and we look
forward to working with her as the Group continues to execute its
growth strategy."
