   year.

    

   Chief Executive Simon Emeny said: “I am delighted with our progress so far
   this year. Our teams across the business continue to work hard, delivering
   consistently excellent results and overcoming the challenges in our sector
   with spirit and determination to maintain our strong momentum. They are
   the heart of Fuller’s, and I am proud to work alongside them.

    

   “Today also sees the end of an era for Fuller’s as Michael Turner steps
   down as Chairman after an incredible 47 years with the business. He leaves
   the Company in great shape, and I would like to publicly thank him for his
   amazing service and contribution. Michael’s vision and drive has taken
   Fuller’s to new heights, and his legacy is a Company with a bright and
   confident future.”

    

   Chairman Michael Turner said: “It’s been a wonderful journey, and I am so
   proud of everything that the team have achieved at Fuller’s during my
   tenure. The Company celebrates 180 years this year and it has never been
   in a stronger position. It just remains for me to wish Simon and all the
   team success, satisfaction and enjoyment for the future. I will be
   watching with anticipation from the stands.”
