Director change

Safestay (AIM: SSTY), the owner and operator of an international brand of contemporary hostels, announces the appointment of Peter Harvey, who will join the Board as Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary with effect from 21 May 2021.

Peter brings with him many years' experience in the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors, from both listed organisations including Whitbread Plc, Tatts Group (ASX), Domino's Pizza Group Plc (Nordic Division) and Teva Pharmaceuticals Limited (NASDAQ / TASE), as well as private organisations including Carlson Group, SH Pratt Group and Threshers Group whilst it was under the ownership of Nomura Principal Finance Group. As well as being a finance professional, Peter has significant commercial and general leadership experience, most notably at Tatts Group, where he held both CFO and COO positions to transform the business and deliver a successful exit.

Simultaneously Hervé Deligny will be stepping down from the position of Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary and will continue to work for the Company until 28 May 2021 to ensure a successful transition.

Larry Lipman, Chairman of Safestay, said:

"I would like to thank Hervé Deligny, on behalf of the Board for his contribution to the Group over the last 3 years and wish him the very best for the future. I would also like to welcome Peter. His extensive experience in our sector, not only as a CFO but also as a commercial and operational leader will be of great benefit to Safestay as we re-open our hostels and resume our expansion plans."
