Friday, SSP Group (SSPG.L) said Carolyn Bradley has been appointed interim chair of the board with immediate effect following the conclusion of the company's annual general meeting.
The move follows the previously announced departure of Mike Clasper from the role of chair. The company said the process to appoint a permanent chair is progressing and shareholders will be updated in due course.
As part of the transition, several changes have been made to board committee leadership and membership. Bradley has taken on the role of interim chair of the nomination committee. She has stepped down permanently as chair of the remuneration committee but will continue to serve as a member, and has temporarily relinquished her seat on the audit committee while serving as interim chair to preserve governance independence.
Judy Vezmar has been appointed chair of the remuneration committee after more than five years as a committee member, while Apurvi Sheth has joined the audit committee for the duration of Bradley's interim chairmanship.
Following the changes, Tim Lodge continues as chair of the audit committee, with Karina Deacon and Apurvi Sheth as members. The remuneration committee is now chaired by Vezmar, alongside Bradley and Sheth, while the nomination committee is led by Bradley in an interim capacity and includes Lodge, Vezmar, Sheth and Deacon.
The company said the adjustments are intended to ensure continuity and effective oversight during the leadership transition.
SSPG.L currently trades at £188.8 or 3.23% lower on the LSE.
