Just Eat appoints Peter Plumb as Chief Executive Officer
Just Eat plc (LSE: JE), a leading global marketplace for online
food delivery, announces that following a thorough process it has
appointed Peter Plumb as Chief Executive Officer and as an
Executive Director with effect from 18 September 2017. Peter will
replace Paul Harrison who is fulfilling that role on an interim
basis and who will then continue in his permanent role as Chief
Financial Officer.
Peter's most recent role was Chief Executive Officer of
Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC, a position he held from February
2009 until he stepped down in May of this year. In his eight years
as CEO, Peter guided the business to a market leadership position,
led the acquisition of MoneySavingExpert.com, and oversaw a
six-fold increase in its share price. Prior to
Moneysupermarket.com, Peter was UK Managing Director of dunnhumby
Limited, General Manager Europe of Disney Consumer Products, and
International Director of Dyson Appliances Limited. Peter is also a
Non-Executive Director of The Co-operative Group Limited.
Andrew Griffith, Interim Chairman of Just Eat, said: "Peter has
an excellent track record of creating value for shareholders in
high growth consumer digital businesses. His passion for customers
and innovation, as well as his international experience in driving
brands, and proven capability to retain, deepen and build senior
management teams, made him a standout choice for the Board. Just
Eat is the leading company in its sector and Peter's expertise will
ensure we continue to build on this platform.
"I would also like to express the Board's appreciation of Paul
Harrison, our Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive
Officer, who has ensured that the Company has maintained its
positive trajectory during the interim period. Working alongside
Peter, Paul will have a broad and growing role within the business
and together they will provide outstanding leadership to Just
Eat.
Peter Plumb said: "I'm delighted to be joining Just Eat at such
an exciting time. The talented team has built an innovative service
into a truly international platform with clear leadership positions
in many markets around the world. I look forward to working with
the Just Eat family of employees and restaurant owners to help more
people around the world enjoy the food they love, wherever they are
and whenever they want."
