Directorship Change

 

James Cropper PLC, the leading advanced materials and paper products group, is
pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Adams as Chief Executive Officer
following the resignation of Phil Wild. These changes are with immediate
effect.

 

Steve Adams, who is an Executive Director of the Company and Managing Director
of the James Cropper Paper Division, joined the Company in 2017 and has a
strong commercial background with leadership experience previously gained at
3M in the UK and Europe covering display, traffic and vehicle safety,
telecommunications, electronics and energy markets.

 

Mark Cropper, Chair, paid tribute to the contribution which Phil Wild has made
to the business over the past 10 years:

 "Under Phil's leadership, the foundations and prospects of the Group have
been transformed. He has overseen step changes in TFP including the
acquisition leading to TFP Hydrogen, the creation of Colourform, and the
renewal of many of our functions.  He has also successfully navigated us
through Covid and other challenges and leaves a legacy - not least the team he
built around him including Steve - that will be felt for many years to
come."

 

Commenting on his appointment, Steve Adams said:

 

"I am delighted and honoured to have been invited to lead James Cropper at a
real inflection point on our growth journey. Building on the strong
foundations set in place by Phil Wild, I am excited at the prospect of
capitalising on the unique and significant capabilities of our people and
know-how to become a truly global market leader in our core technology areas.
Our Purpose and Values will continue to sit at the heart of everything we do
as we position ourselves more prominently and meaningfully in front of our
customers."
