The Board of Directors A.G. BARR p.l.c. announced that Jonathan Kemp has advised the Board that, owing to family health reasons, he will not seek re-election as a statutory director of the Company at its Annual General Meeting scheduled to take place on 31 May 2024 (AGM) and will retire as a director of the Company following conclusion of the AGM. In order to facilitate a smooth leadership transition, Jonathan will continue to lead the Commercial function until 30 September 2024. Thereafter he will remain available to the Company as required for a further twelve month period following which he will retire from the business.

The business will commence a recruitment process in due course to identify a successor - this role will not be an executive director Board position. As previously communicated on 26 May 2023, after nine years as a Non-Executive Director, David Ritchie will stand down from the Board with effect from the conclusion of the AGM. David will be succeeded by Louise Smalley as Remuneration Committee Chair.
