Management Transition

4GLOBAL, a provider of data and technology for sports, fitness and wellness organisations to optimise operational and investment decisions, is pleased to announce the promotion of Stuart Wooller ACA, current Group Financial Controller, to Group Finance Director and Company Secretary (non-board position).

Stuart will assume the executive finance duties of Keith Sadler, who will step down from his role as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and Company Secretary at the end of September 2024. Keith will remain on the Board as Non-Executive Director.

The transition aligns with the plans outlined in the Company's Admission Document, with Keith initially fulfilling the role of CFO on a part-time basis until such time the Group had grown sufficiently to warrant a full-time appointment.

Stuart has worked closely with Keith since his appointment with the Company in June 2023, ensuring a smooth transfer of responsibilities over several months.

Prior to joining 4GLOBAL, Stuart worked for nine years at Lewis Golden LLP in the Audit and Accounts team.

Stuart Wooller, incoming Group Finance Director, said:

"I am thrilled to have this opportunity at an exciting time for the business and look forward to building on the solid foundations Keith has laid as we navigate the next stage of growth."

Keith Sadler, outgoing CFO, commented:

"With the traction the business is getting, this is the right time to hand the reins over to someone full-time. Having worked closely with Stuart for more than a year, I have no doubt his leadership and deep understanding of 4GLOBAL make him the ideal candidate."

Eloy Mazon, CEO, added:

"Stuart's promotion is testament to the outstanding contribution he has made to 4GLOBAL since his arrival. I look forward to working with him in his new capacity. At the same time, on behalf of everyone at 4GLOBAL, I would like to thank Keith for his service as CFO. Keith played an instrumental role in the IPO and has strengthened the finance function considerably during his tenure. We are fortunate to be able to continue benefitting from his insight and counsel as a board member."
