Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC
Directorate
Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC ("Fuller's" or "the Company"), the premium pubs and hotels business, today announces that Adam Councell has informed the Board of his intention to step down from his current position as the Company's Finance Director.
Adam has decided to return to the services sector to take up a role with Marlowe plc in due course, where he has been given the opportunity to re-join a former colleague from Restore plc. The search for his replacement is underway and shareholders will be kept updated, as appropriate.
In the meantime, Adam will remain with the Company in the role of Finance Director, and on the Board, until such time as his successor has been identified and in order to ensure an orderly handover.
Whilst the Board is naturally disappointed with Adam's decision, it would like to take this opportunity to express its appreciation for the contribution that he has made during his tenure with the Company.
