Board changes at M&B as director steps down
BIRMINGHAM-based pubco Mitchells & Butlers has announced a series of board changes.
The reorganisation has been prompted after Doug Evans informed the board of his intention to step down as a director following the company’s AGM in January. He is leaving the business to join recruiter Hays as Company Secretary & General Counsel, a position he will take up next February.
Bob Ivell, M&B Executive Chairman, said: “I would like to thank Doug for his important contribution to the board and wish him every success in his new role.”
The firm, which operates brands such as Harvester, Toby Carvery, Vintage Inns and All Bar One, said Mr McMahon has appointed Richard McGuire as his alternate and he would act as a nominated shareholder representative of Piedmont Inc., with effect from October 1, 2012.
Mr McMahon is based in the United States and is not able to attend every board meeting in person. Mr McGuire will attend all board meetings where Mr McMahon will not be present.
Mr McGuire is currently Managing Director of Tavistock Europe and is a non-executive director of Timeweave plc and DCD Media plc. He was previously a non-executive director of the company and Bulgarian Property Developments plc.
