Board Change

Facilities by ADF plc (AIM:ADF), the leading provider of premium serviced production facilities to the UK film and high-end television industry ("HETV"), is delighted to announce the appointment of Will Worsdell as Chief Financial Officer of the Group with effect from 30 March 2026.

Will is currently Finance Director of Everyman Media Group plc, the AIM quoted independent premium cinema group. Will has served on the Board of Everyman since June 2022 and has overseen the growth of that business' estate from 36 to 49 venues, along with significant revenue growth.

Prior to joining Everyman, Will has had significant experience working in highly relevant financial and operational planning roles, notably as Financial Planning Manager at Heathrow. More recently, Will has held senior finance roles in the hospitality and leisure sector, including as Head of Commercial Finance at Côte Brasserie. Will is a qualified chartered accountant.

Russell Down, Executive Chairman of ADF, commented:

"We are delighted to confirm Will's appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Group. Will's appointment follows confirmation of Nicola Pearcey's appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Group in November 2025, and the promotion of James Long to the position of Group Chief Operating Officer in September 2025.

Will's appointment therefore concludes the extensive and thorough executive search process commenced by the Board in July 2025 and, with a high-quality executive team in place, I am confident that the Group is well positioned to generate significant shareholder value in the years to come. As previously announced, with a new Chief Executive Officer in place, and following an appropriate handover period, I anticipate reverting to Non-Executive Chair with effect from 31 January 2026."
