The Board of Ten Entertainment Group plc has been notified by Duncan Garrood, Chief Executive Officer, of his decision to resign from the company to join Empiric Student Property plc. Duncan will remain with the business until the end of the year to deliver the reopening programme after its enforced closure due to Covid-19 and its return to more normalised trading. To ensure a smooth transition and support the group at this critical time, Nick Basing, currently Non-Executive Chairman and formerly CEO, will step in as Interim Executive Chairman until the transition to a new CEO is complete. His wealth of experience and strong operational track record will be invaluable in providing a smooth handover to new leadership. The Board is confident that the experienced Executive team are well placed to reopen safely and successfully when restrictions are lifted and return to, in time, the strong trading achieved during the first few months of this year. The Board wishes to place on record its gratitude to its Senior Non-Executive Director, David Wild, for his time on the Board over the past 3 years. He has notified the Board of his decision to resign from the Company with immediate effect.
