the Company on 31 December 2023, having served nine years as a Non-Executive

As previously announced, Coline has been succeeded as Senior Independent

who joined the Board and the Remuneration Committee in May 2021, has taken
over from Coline as Chair of the Remuneration Committee.

 

Domenic De Lorenzo, Chair, said: "On behalf of the Board I would like to
express a warm welcome to David. His extensive industry experience will play
an important role in supporting Fever-Tree's continued successful expansion,
particularly in North America, where the brand continues to go from strength
to strength."

 

"I also want to thank Coline for her contributions to Fever-Tree as
