Britvic PLC announces that Ian McHoul, Non-Executive director, Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Audit Committee, will retire from the Board in May 2022, following the finalisation of the Company's interim results for 2022. Ian's nine-year term ends in early 2023, and he has agreed to step down a little early, in order to enable his Audit Chair successor to lead the Company's tender of its external audit services, planned to take place during 2022.

Ian joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director in March 2014 and was appointed as Senior Independent Director in September 2017. The Company also announces the appointment of Emer Finnan as an independent Non-Executive Director of the Company, with effect from 1 January 2022.

The Company also announces that Suniti Chauhan has notified the Company of her intention to step down from the Board on 31 December 2021. Accordingly, she will not seek re-election at the Annual General Meeting on 27 January 2022.
