The Restaurant Group, which operates approximately 400 restaurants and pubs across the UK, has today announced a number of changes to its senior team.
Kirk Davies, after more than five years at the company, will step down from his role as chief financial officer after TRG’s interim results in September 2023.
Mark Chambers, currently chief executive officer for leisure and concessions, will become the new group CFO from September. Chambers has more than 20 years of senior experience in finance and operational roles having previously been managing director retail at Ladbrokes Coral. Prior to this, he held senior positions at Giles Insurance, Coral and Norman Broadbent, having started his finance career with EY.
In addition, Jonathan Knight will become CEO of leisure and concessions and Jacqui McManus will take on a dual role as group HR director and people director for leisure and concessions.
Commenting on the changes, Andy Hornby, CEO, said: “These management changes are the result of carefully managed succession planning. I would particularly like to thank Kirk for his huge efforts over the past five years.
“TRG is a very different business from when he joined in 2018. He was instrumental both in the acquisition and successful integration of Wagamama and in supporting the business as it successfully navigated the Covid pandemic. We wish him all the very best for the future.”
