Directorate Change

 

18 April 2024

 

Bridgepoint is pleased to announce the appointment of Ruth Prior as Chief
Financial Officer and as a director of the Company, succeeding Adam Jones who
will step down later this year. Adam Jones will continue as Chief Financial
Officer and a director of the Company until Ruth's appointment takes effect
later in the year.

 

Ruth is the current CFO of Element Materials Technology, a former Bridgepoint
portfolio company and global provider of testing, inspection and certification
services. Previously, Ruth was CFO of William Hill plc, leading the finance,
assurance, legal and procurement functions, and COO at Worldpay, a private
equity backed global payment processing business where she helped lead the
digital transformation and preparation of the business leading up to and
following the firm's FTSE100 IPO in 2015. Earlier in her career, she spent
nearly ten years in a variety of operational and financial roles within the
private equity industry. Ruth is also a non-executive director and chair of
the audit and risk committee for Motability Operations Group plc, a company
that provides mobility solutions for the disabled in the UK.

 

Adam has played a critical role in Bridgepoint's first three years as
a listed company and is stepping down after six successful years with the
business. He and the Board have agreed that now is the right time to hand over
the CFO reins ahead of the next phase of growth.

 

Commenting on the appointment, Raoul Hughes, Chief Executive, said:

 

"We are delighted that Ruth is joining Bridgepoint and look forward to
welcoming her later in 2024. As a highly experienced CFO in both the listed
and private sectors, Ruth brings substantial experience to the role as
Bridgepoint continues to build its market presence and capabilities.

 

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Adam, on behalf of the Board and
colleagues across Bridgepoint, for his significant contributions to the
business as both Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer during
his six years at the firm."

 

There are no other disclosures to make pursuant to LR 9.6.13 R.
