The Board of Directors of Accent Group Limited announced that Mr. Stephen Goddard will be retiring as a Non-Executive Director at the conclusion of this year?s Annual General Meeting (AGM), to be held on 17 November 2023. Mr. Goddard joined the Board in November 2017. He was the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee from February 2018 and a member of the People and Remuneration Committee from February 2020.

Mr. Goddard had signalled his decision to retire from the Board early this year in order to balance his board and other commitments. As such, the planned appointment of a new independent Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee is well progressed, with an announcement expected to be made in advance of the AGM, allowing for a seamless transition.
