Chief Financial Officer Succession Update
Gateley, the leading professional services group, announced on 17 September 2025 that Neil Smith was stepping down from his roles as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Executive Director of Gateley on 30 April 2026, and that John Paton was joining the Group as an Executive Director on 5 January 2026. Gateley now confirms that, in line with its prior announcement, John has succeeded Neil as CFO with effect from 1 May 2026.
Neil's early indication in 2025 of his intention to step down as CFO allowed for an orderly succession planning and handover process to be undertaken with John.
