MANAGEMENT CHANGES - NORTH AMERICA

Games Workshop North America

Games Workshop's business in North America, which includes 86 Hobby centres in the USA  and Canada, a large trade business and the Memphis manufacturing and distribution facility, is the Group's largest operation after the UK and Continental Europe

The Board of Games Workshop believes that the future potential of the Games Workshop Hobby in North America is considerable. To help exploit this, once the formalities are complete, Tom Kirby, the Group's Executive Chairman, will relocate to the Group's North American headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland for a period of 18-24 months. This will bring a renewed and increased focus on this business. 

Tom will be back in the UK for approximately one week each month to deal with Group matters and to stay close to the Chief Executive and CFO. He will remain Executive Chairman of Games Workshop Group PLC.
