A.G. BARR p.l.c., a multi-beverage business with a portfolio of market-leading
UK brands, including IRN-BRU, Rubicon, Funkin and Boost, is pleased to
announce the following Board appointments :

Louise Smalley will join the Board on 1 June 2023 as a Non-Executive
Director.  Having had an exceptional career in a variety of HR positions,
culminating in her role as Group HR Director and Executive Director at
Whitbread PLC, Louise has a strong track record in the consumer space, having
worked with brands such as Costa, Pizza Hut and Premier Inn.  Louise is
currently a Non-Executive Director at DS Smith Plc, where she is a member of
the Audit, Remuneration and Nomination Committees, and at Informa PLC, where

close.

 

As previously communicated on 28 March 2023, and following shareholder
approval at today's Annual General Meeting (AGM), Julie Barr will join the

planned, Robin Barr resigned as Non-Executive Director of the Company with
effect from the close of today's AGM.

 

Mark Allen, Chair of A.G. BARR p.l.c., commented :

 

"On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Louise to the A.G. BARR
Group.  Louise's HR and consumer goods background will undoubtedly strengthen
the capability and experience of our Board as we grow and develop the Company.

 

I am also pleased to confirm Julie Barr's appointment as a Non-Executive
Director.  Julie brings a wealth of experience gained during almost 20 years
