In the light of our decision to reduce the number of our managed houses, the Company plans to reorganise roles and responsibilities to reflect the composition of its pub estate. These roles will report to Jonathan Neame, CEO, and Mark Rider, CFO, who will take on added responsibilities.

Richard Oldfield, Chairman, said: "The Board would like to thank Jonathon for his contribution over the past three years, and for developing our pub business so as to be well positioned for the future. We wish him well in his next endeavour."
