Catherine Glickman to step down as Independent Non-Executive Director of The Works

TheWorks.co.uk plc, the family-friendly value retailer of arts, crafts, toys, books and stationery, today announces that Catherine Glickman has informed the Board of her intention to step down as Independent Non-Executive Director after more than six years.

Catherine joined the Board of The Works on 19 July 2018 and is currently Chair of the Remuneration Committee and member of the Audit and Nomination Committees.

Catherine will not seek re-election at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 31 October 2024. An external search firm has been appointed to identify Catherine's successor and the Board will provide an update in due course. The intention is for Catherine's successor to have extensive value retail experience.

Steve Bellamy, Chair of The Works, said: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Catherine for her contribution to the business over the past six years. She has been a part of The Works' journey since the IPO in 2018: her insight and experience have been hugely valuable during a period of considerable change. On behalf of both the Board and everyone at The Works, we send her our best wishes for the future."
