Change of Director Responsibilities
The Restaurant Group plc (the "Company") announces that, in line
with best practice, after nine years' tenure, Simon Cloke will
relinquish his role as Senior Independent Director at the 2019 AGM
on 17 May 2019 and that Allan Leighton will take up this position
directly following the AGM.
Allan joined The Restaurant Group as a Non-Executive Director in
December 2018, at the completion of the Wagamama transaction. Allan
is currently Chairman of Co-operative Group Limited and
Entertainment One Limited, among others, and has previously been
Chief Executive Officer of ASDA Group Limited and Pandora A/S and
Chairman of Pace plc and Royal Mail. He has extensive experience of
managing public and private companies in the retail and hospitality
sectors.
Simon Cloke has agreed to remain on the Board as a non-executive
Director up to the 2020 AGM, to ensure continuity whilst the new
CEO is recruited. Once a new CEO has been identified, the Board
will recruit and appoint an additional non-executive Director with
technology and digital credentials, at which point Simon will step
down from the Board.
The Committee recognises that Simon has completed nine years as
a non-executive Director and has concluded that in all aspects
other than tenure he remains independent in his approach and
contribution to the Board.
Debbie Hewitt, Chairman, said:
"We'd like to thank Simon for the role he has played as Senior
Independent Director and for agreeing to stay for up to a year to
ensure continuity whilst we recruit a new CEO. We are delighted to
appoint Allan to the role of Senior Independent Director. He is an
experienced Director and is already making a substantial
contribution to the Board."
