Crawshaw Group Plc

Director Change

Crawshaw Group Plc ('Crawshaw', the 'Company' or the 'Group'), the fresh meat and food-to-go retailer, today announces that Colin Crawshaw will step down from the Plc Board as Buying Director with immediate effect.

Colin will continue to work in his current function as part-time head of buying to facilitate a smooth transition to the new full-time Buying Director.


Chief Executive Officer, Noel Collett, comments:

'We wish to express our sincere gratitude to Colin for his drive, commitment and loyalty over the past 25 years with the Group and wish him the very best for the future.

Colin's retirement provides the opportunity to appoint a new full-time Buying Director, which forms part of our core strategy to deliver our plan of opening 200 stores. This plan is progressing very well and is on track, so we continue to look to the future with great confidence and excitement.'


Colin Crawshaw comments:

'I have thoroughly enjoyed my 40 years in the Butcher Industry and being part of the Crawshaws business for over 25 years. I think now is the right moment for me to step aside and hand over responsibility to a full-time Buying Director. This will help the business to deliver the growth plans and I will do everything to support the new appointee during the transition.'
