THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES
OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014.
London, UK, 13 September 2018 (LSE: PVG): PVG is pleased to
announce that Andy Paull has been appointed as Chief Financial
Officer, Company Secretary and Executive Director of the Company
with effect from 30 November 2018. As previously announced on
22(nd) August 2018, the Company's current Chief Financial Officer,
Will Evans, will be leaving the business on 30 November 2018 and
arrangements are in place ahead of his departure to provide a
smooth handover of responsibilities to Mr Paull.
Andy joins PVG following 5 successful years as Finance Director
of AmerisourceBergen Animal Health UK ("ABAH UK"), the UK animal
health business of AmerisourceBergen Inc. During his tenure, the
business developed through the acquisition of veterinary buying
groups and a practice management software provider to complement
its core wholesale business. Prior to that Andy held senior finance
positions with Ovo Energy Ltd during its early growth, and with
Whitbread plc in both the restaurants and hotels business units
after qualifying as an accountant during 7 years with Inbev UK (now
part of AB InBev).
Dominic Tonner, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"I am delighted our company has been successful in attracting
someone with Andy's track record and industry expertise. Having
headed up the financial team at ABAH UK, a GBP250m turnover
business in Nasdaq quoted AmerisourceBergen Inc's animal health
division, he brings a wealth of knowledge and ideas to help us in
this next phase of our journey. This appointment further
strengthens the board following the appointment of Neil Wood MBE as
Non-Executive Director, creating more strength in depth in our
pursuit of building a global leadership position in small animal
preventative health."

Note to Editors:
PVG's services to third party veterinary practices, through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Vet Alliance Limited ("PVA"),
include the administration and support of a preventative healthcare
programme for pets branded "Premier Pet Care Plan" ("PPCP"). In the
US, where veterinary practices are known as veterinary hospitals,
PPCP is marketed through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
Premier Vet Alliance (US) Limited.
PPCP is a structured, preventative healthcare programme for
cats, dogs and rabbits and is available only through veterinary
practices/hospitals. The programme is seen as a way of providing
gold standard care for pets at an affordable price for the client,
by way of fixed monthly payments.
PPCP uses a clinical approach to prevention, as this is the most
effective method of ensuring illnesses are diagnosed more quickly
and not given a chance to advance. What truly sets PPCP apart is
its unique approach of offering an end-to-end solution and support
to the practice/hospital, which has been proven to work extremely
well. PVA works alongside practices/hospitals to create a
tailor-made, cost-effective service for clients, one that delivers
excellent care to their patients and significantly improves
practice/hospital performance.
