The Restaurant Group has announced that Alex Gersh, an independent non-executive director of the group and the chair of its audit committee, will be stepping down from his role on 1 July.
The group has announced that Loraine Woodhouse, who has been a member of the board since 4 July 2022, will take over the role of audit committee chair following Gersh’s departure.
Gersh has cited his decision to step down due to other work commitments.
He first joined the board on 23 February 2021 and is currently also a member of the nomination and remuneration committees.
Ken Hanna, chairman of The Restaurant Group, said: “On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Alex for the contribution he has made to the company over the last two-and-a-half years.”
