Appointment of chief executive

The board announces that, with effect from 1 January 2022, Matthew Coulson will take up the role of chief executive of M.P. Evans. At the same time, Peter Hadsley-Chaplin will relinquish the responsibilities of chief executive, continuing in his role as executive chairman.

Matthew joined the Group in 2016 as CFO and was promoted to finance director in 2017. During that time, he has been responsible for leading all aspects of the Group's finance function, from treasury and financing through to governance and control. Whilst Matthew will continue in the short term to monitor and supervise the Group's finance team, work has already begun to recruit a new Group CFO.

Peter Hadsley-Chaplin, executive chairman of M.P. Evans, said:

"I am delighted that Matthew is stepping up to become the Group's chief executive. Over the last five years he has made a significant contribution, both as finance director and latterly as a strategic leader across the Group's operations. With the leadership team in place, the Group is well positioned to deliver continuing growth and enhanced earnings, along with attractive returns for our shareholders."
