Board Change

Facilities by ADF plc (AIM:ADF), the leading provider of premium serviced
production facilities to the UK film and high-end television industry
("HETV"), is delighted to announce the appointment of Will Worsdell as Chief
Financial Officer of the Group with effect from 30 March 2026.

 

Will is currently Finance Director of Everyman Media Group plc, the AIM quoted
independent premium cinema group. Will has served on the Board of Everyman
since June 2022 and has overseen the growth of that business' estate from 36
to 49 venues, along with significant revenue growth.

 

Prior to joining Everyman, Will has had significant experience working in
highly relevant financial and operational planning roles, notably as Financial
Planning Manager at Heathrow. More recently, Will has held senior finance
roles in the hospitality and leisure sector, including as Head of Commercial
Finance at Côte Brasserie. Will is a qualified chartered accountant.

 

 

Russell Down, Executive Chairman of ADF, commented:

 

"We are delighted to confirm Will's appointment as Chief Financial Officer of
the Group. Will's appointment follows confirmation of Nicola Pearcey's
appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Group in November 2025, and the
promotion of James Long to the position of Group Chief Operating Officer in
September 2025.

 

Will's appointment therefore concludes the extensive and thorough executive
search process commenced by the Board in July 2025 and, with a high-quality
executive team in place, I am confident that the Group is well positioned to
generate significant shareholder value in the years to come. As previously
announced, with a new Chief Executive Officer in place, and following an
appropriate handover period, I anticipate reverting to Non-Executive Chair
with effect from 31 January 2026."
