Hill & Smith Holdings PLC announced that Mark Pegler, Group Finance Director, will step down from the Board and leave the Group at the end of April 2019. This move reflects the outcome of the board's long term succession planning, alongside Mark's personal plans for his future. A search for his successor is underway. Mark will be overseeing an orderly transfer of his responsibilities over the next two months and, following his departure, the Group's Financial Controller, Mark Else, will take interim responsibility for the Group Finance function pending the appointment of Mark's permanent replacement.
