Appointment of Chief Financial Officer and Non-Executive
Director Change
Nichols plc, the diversified soft drinks group, announces the
following changes to its Board.
Appointment of CFO
The Group is pleased to announce that Richard Newman will join
the Board as a Director with effect from 29 January 2024 before
becoming Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Company Secretary in
March 2024 following the publication of the Group's Preliminary
Results for the year to 31 December 2023. David Taylor, who is
currently acting as Interim CFO and Company Secretary, will step
down from the Board at the same time in March following a smooth
transition of responsibilities.
Richard brings extensive and relevant UK public company
financial experience having held a number of senior plc roles and
most recently, between 2021 and 2023, as CFO at AIM-listed Accrol
Group Holdings Plc.
Richard joined Cadbury plc in 1996 progressing to Finance and IT
Director for Ireland and then Group Financial Controller. After 15
years with Cadbury, he took a new role as Divisional Finance
Director at National Express Group plc before joining DS Smith plc
in 2015 as UK Finance Director for Packaging. Richard is a member
of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales,
having qualified with PwC in 1993.
Non-Executive Director Change
After 18 successful years with Nichols, both in executive
positions and as a Non-Executive Director, James Nichols has
decided that he wishes to pursue a fresh challenge and will leave
the Board and the business with effect from 24 October 2023.
It is expected that a new representative of the Nichols family
will be appointed as a Non-Executive Director in due course,
pursuant to the terms of the Relationship Agreement between Nichols
plc and the Nichols family which entitles the family to two
Non-Executive Board positions (assuming an aggregate of interest by
the Nichols family of equal to or greater than 30 per cent of the
issued ordinary share capital of the Company).
Liz McMeikan, Non-Executive Chair, commented :
"On behalf of the Board I would like to thank James for his
significant contribution over the past 18 years and we wish him
well and every success for the future.
Following a thorough search process, we are delighted that
Richard will be joining the business and the Board next year.
Richard brings a wealth of highly relevant experience to the Group
and I have every confidence that he will make a substantial
contribution to the Group's continued development and growth."
