Directorate Changes
Venture Life (AIM: VLG), a leader in developing, manufacturing
and commercialising products for the self-care market, announces
the appointment of Mr Paul McGreevy as Non-executive Chair of the
Company with immediate effect and consequent stepping down from the
Board of Dr. Lynn Drummond.
Mr McGreevy is an experienced and successful executive with over
30 years commercial experience in the consumer healthcare and
products industry. He has a strong track record of demonstrating
commercial success in Omni-channel sales across FMCG and is
experienced in franchise, wholesale and manufacturing, as well as
having established credentials in internationalising consumer
products and businesses.
Mr McGreevy spent his early career with Walgreen Boots Alliance
in the UK in R&D, sales, and marketing between 1993 & 1999.
This was followed by a period at Dewhirst Group as R&D and
Commercial Director. He joined The Body Shop International in 2004
as Global Product Director, then moving on to become Global
Operations Director, having additional responsibilities of R&D,
acquisitions and divestments. During his 10 years at The Body Shop,
he had responsibilities to over 70 markets and oversaw significant
growth and expansion of the business.
Since leaving The Body Shop, Mr McGreevy has pursued a
successful Non-executive career, as both Chair and Non-executive
Director of several international consumer product businesses. He
has current board appointments in consumer businesses with a focus
on brand, product development, operations, and R&D, with Danish
retail chain, Normal A/S, and cosmetics manufacturing company, SnJ
International Limited, whilst also also running his own consultancy
business, McGreevy Consulting Ltd.
Jerry Randall, CEO of Venture Life commented: " We are delighted
to have Paul join the Board of Venture Life Group as our new
Non-executive Chair. His extensive experience in the international
consumer healthcare market will be invaluable to us. In particular,
Paul's knowledge of the omni-channel approach to sales and
marketing is very pertinent to us as we seek to grow our brands and
our business through the many channels available to us in today's
market. As an experienced board Director and Chair, Paul brings
additional and considerable governance experience to our Board, and
we look forward to working with him.
On behalf of the whole Board, I also extend our deepest thanks
and gratitude to our outgoing Chair, Dr Lynn Drummond. Lynn has
been with us since before our IPO in 2014 and has helped us
navigate the difficult path of becoming a growing and sustainably
profitable consumer healthcare business on the public markets. We
thank Lynn for her time with us and wish her all the very best for
the future.
Paul McGreevy commented: " I am very excited to join such an
ambitious team, with a great portfolio of brands that provides a
solid foundation to accelerate our growth in the self-care sector.
VLG is well placed in a growing market to further develop its
brands, expand through acquisition, and increase its international
footprint."
