APPOINTMENT OF NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR 
 
 
Sceptre, a leading supplier of amusement machines in the UK, is pleased to 
announce that Adrian Gare has been appointed 
Group Financial Director and has 
joined the Board with immediate effect. 
 
 
Adrian has until recently been a Director of Corporate Finance at Baker Tilly in 
Manchester and worked closely with the team at Sceptre Leisure for the last 10 
years. During that time he has advised on various Sceptre acquisitions including 
Crown Leisure Rentals, which propelled Sceptre Leisure from a regional machine 
operator to become a national supplier. 
 
 
Adrian is a qualified Chartered Accountant and also holds the Corporate Finance 
qualification issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and 
Wales.  Sceptre is an acquisitive company that most recently acquired Australian 
8 Ball, its first purchase since becoming a public company. Adrian will be 
instrumental in considering more options in the immediate future. 
 
 
As a result of Adrian's Group appointment, Lesley Humphrys will take on the 
operational role of Finance Director for Sceptre Leisure Solutions Ltd and Regal 
Amusements Ltd, the principal trading companies within the Group and step down 
from the Board. Lesley has considerable experience of the complexities and 
dynamics required to derive shareholder value from these organisations with 
Adrian's appointment further facilitating this. 
 
 
Ken Turner, Sceptre's Chief Executive Officer, commented: 
 
 
"We believe we have the best management team within our sector and as we seek to 
continue to develop the Company by both acquisition and organic growth we 
require a very strong finance team to ensure profitability, compliance and 
controls. Adrian will also add significant experience of corporate finance. I am 
both excited and proud to be leading such a dynamic team and business." 
 
 
 
 
The disclosures required to be made under Rule 17 of the AIM Rules in respect of 
the new directors are set out in the Appendix to this announcement.
