Directorate Change
Topps Tiles Plc (the "Group"), the UK's largest tile specialist,
announces that Matt Williams, Group Chief Executive, has decided to
step down from the Board with effect from 29 November 2019
following the announcement of the 2019 full year results earlier
that week. Rob Parker, currently Chief Financial Officer, will be
appointed as Group CEO effective from the same date. To ensure a
smooth handover Matt will remain as an advisor to the business
until the end of May 2020.
Matt Williams, said: "It has been a really tough decision to
leave Topps but I feel now is the right time for me to pursue a new
challenge. Topps is, and will always remain, a very special company
to both me and my family. It is a quality business with enormous
strength in its specialism which it derives from its people and
culture. It has been an honour and privilege to lead and work
alongside everybody within the Topps family and I wish them all
well for the future."
Darren Shapland, Non-Executive Chairman, said: "Matt has made a
tremendous contribution to the business over the last 20 years and
in particular over the last 12 years as Chief Executive. During
this time he has reshaped the retail business, completed a very
successful re-branding and led the investment into the commercial
tile market. On behalf of the Board I wish him every success for
the future.
"I am delighted that Rob Parker, our CFO for the last 12 years,
has accepted the role of Group CEO. Rob is very well known across
the business and has established himself as a strong strategic
thinker and leader of people across the organisation."
Rob Parker, said: "I am delighted to be offered this opportunity
to lead the organisation. Topps is an exceptional business in so
many ways and I am very proud of the part I have played in our
journey so far. I look forward to the future with energy and
excitement as we continue to refine our market leading retail offer
and to further our expansion into the commercial tile market."
The Nomination Committee has commenced a search for a new CFO
and a further announcement will be made in due course.
The Group confirms there is no further information to be
disclosed under the requirements of Listing Rule 9.6.13R in
relation to Rob Parker's appointment.
