MARSTON'S PLC
("Marston's" or "the Group")
Appointment of Chief Financial Officer
The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Hayleigh
Lupino as Chief Financial Officer of Marston's PLC, with effect
from 3 October 2021. Hayleigh will also be appointed to the Board
as of the same date.
Hayleigh's appointment follows a full and proper independent
selection process, conducted by the Board, which also reviewed
potential external candidates for the role.
Hayleigh will succeed Andrew Andrea as Chief Financial Officer
who, in turn, takes over the role of Chief Executive Officer from
Ralph Findlay at the end of the current financial year ending 2
October 2021. An experienced finance professional, Hayleigh is
currently Marston's Director of Group Finance and has over 18
years' experience within Marston's. Hayleigh also serves on the
Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company ("CMBC") Board as a
Non-executive Director and she is currently a Trustee of
Wolverhampton Grand Theatre, where she chairs the Finance and
Business sub-committee.
Hayleigh has strong operational and commercial credentials, as
well as extensive knowledge of both Marston's and the wider pub and
brewing sector. A qualified ACMA, she joined Marston's in 2003
since when she has held a number of senior roles within the Group
including Director of Finance for Marston's Beer Company,
culminating in her appointment as Director of Group Finance earlier
this year. She has both helped to develop the strategy, and led the
integration plans, which saw a transformation of the beer business
over the last 10 years. This included the acquisition of Thwaites
beer business and Charles Wells Beer Business, together with the
expansion of the distribution business onto a wider national
platform. Most recently, she played a key role in the sale of
Marston's Beer Company into the JV with Carlsberg UK (in 2020) and
is currently the project lead for Marston's on the Transitional
Services Agreement with CMBC to ensure a smooth transition with the
JV integration plan, spanning IT, finance, tax, data, payroll and
facilities.
There are no other details that are required to be disclosed
under Rule 9.6.13 of the Listing Rules of the UK Listing
Authority.
Marston's will announce a trading update for the 42 weeks to 24
July 2021 on 28 July 2021.
William Rucker, Chairman of Marston's PLC, commented:
"I am delighted to announce Hayleigh's appointment and welcome
her to the Marston's Board. Marston's is a people business and
Hayleigh has unparalleled knowledge, understanding and experience
of Marston's business, culture and values which, together with her
clear financial prowess, will be a great asset to the senior
leadership team. She has a proven track record of delivery and is
highly regarded within Marston's which will stand her in good stead
in her future role. I, together with my fellow directors, look
forward to working with her closely in future."
