CHANGES TO THE BOARD
The MISSION Group plc (AIM: TMG), the alternative group for
ambitious brands , today announces that Peter Fitzwilliam has
informed the Board of his intention to step down as Chief Financial
Officer to pursue Non-Executive opportunities. Giles Lee, currently
Commercial Director of MISSION , will take over the role of CFO
from April 2021.
Peter has been with MISSION for over ten years, supporting the
Group through its refinancing in April 2010 before joining the
Board in September 2010. He has been instrumental to MISSION's
success during his tenure and will continue to work with the
business in an advisory capacity.
Giles joined MISSION Agency Bray Leino in 2005 as Group Finance
Director and was appointed to the MISSION Board in 2013, taking on
the role of Group Commercial Director in 2018. Prior to joining
Bray Leino Giles was divisional Finance Director at Merrydown plc
where he played a key role in the financial restructure of the
business and its subsequent acquisition.
The Group also today announces that Barry Cook has informed the
board of his intention to retire to pursue his existing charitable
and non-executive roles. Barry co-founded krow in 2005 which was
acquired by MISSION in 2018 and was appointed to the Board in June
2019.
Commenting, David Morgan, Chairman of The MISSION Group plc,
said: "I have nothing but admiration for the financial stewardship,
expertise and input that Peter has brought to MISSION . It has been
my privilege to work with him and on behalf of the Board I would
like to thank him for his outstanding contribution. He leaves with
our warmest of wishes.
"I am delighted that Giles Lee will take on the position of CFO.
Giles's undoubted financial capability and expertise coupled with
his deep understanding of MISSION and its sector made him the
Board's natural choice to succeed Peter.
"I would also like to thank Barry Cook for his significant
contribution to the Group both in an Executive capacity as
co-founder of krow, but also as Board colleague. We wish him the
very best in his future endeavours."
Peter Fitzwilliam said: "It has been a real pleasure to work
alongside the inimitable David and the hugely talented and
dedicated MISSION individuals for over a decade. I fully support
the Group's vision and strategy for the future, and I look forward
to continuing in an advisory capacity as James Clifton and the team
continue to build on the exciting momentum achieved in recent
years."
Giles Lee said: "MISSION has an exciting growth path ahead and
we are building from strong foundations. I look forward to
continuing the journey with the Board and management team as we
make further progress against our strategic priorities, and I echo
David Morgan and the Board in wishing my long-time colleague Peter
the very best for the future."
