Board Changes
The Company is pleased to announce that Lucinda Riches has been

Hayes, who has stepped down from the Board after nearly thirty
years with Peel Hunt, serving as CEO from 2006 and Chair from 2016.
The Board would like to thank Simon for his stewardship and the
significant role he has played in the success of the business over
the years.
Commenting on her new role, Lucinda Riches said:
"I'm delighted to be taking over as Chair and leading the
Company in its next phase of growth. Having worked closely with the
Board since my appointment, I look forward to crystallising our
strategic plan and realising our future opportunities. I am
grateful for Simon's knowledge and insight of the business which
has been invaluable during our transition."
Simon Hayes, departing as Chair, said:
"It has been a privilege to spend nearly thirty years with Peel
Hunt and I am proud of what has been achieved. Having worked
closely with Lucinda over the last year, I know that, under her
leadership, the Company is in excellent hands and that there is
still so much more to come.
I wish everyone at Peel Hunt every success and look forward to
seeing their strategic ambitions come to fruition."
Steven Fine, Chief Executive of Peel Hunt, said:
"I want to express my gratitude and personal thanks to Simon.
Having worked with him for many years, his commitment, passion and
advice have been invaluable. He has led the Board through a
successful IPO and transition to a public listed company. He
departs with our very best wishes for the future."
