The Board of Greggs plc announces that it has appointed Lynne Weedall as an independent non-executive director, with effect from 17 May 2022. Lynne will join the Board immediately following the close of the Annual General Meeting currently scheduled on that date.

Lynne is an experienced People and Business Transformation executive, having held senior positions most recently at Selfridges, and before that at Carphone Warehouse. Throughout her executive career Lynne has been involved in and led transformational projects in several of the companies she has worked for, which have also included Whitbread, and BUPA.

Lynne is currently the senior independent non-executive director and Remuneration Committee Chair at Dr. Martens plc, and at Stagecoach plc, and on 3 May 2022 is due to join the Board of Softcat plc as non-executive director and Chair of the Remuneration Committee.
