The Board of Midwich, a global specialist audio visual distributor to the

Prior to Marlowe he was Group Finance Director at Fuller, Smith & Turner

accordance with Schedule Two, paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules for Companies in
due course.

 

Andrew Herbert, Non-executive Chairman of Midwich said:

"We are delighted that Adam will join the Board as Chief Financial Officer in
March. Adam has extensive financial, plc and leadership experience gained
across B2B services and has a proven track record of delivering growth through
both organic and acquisition-led strategies.

 

"I would also like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Board, to thank
Stephen Lamb for everything that he has done for Midwich since joining in 2018
and we wish him every success in his new role."

 

Adam Councell, incoming Chief Financial Officer said:

"I am thrilled to be joining Midwich at such an exciting time. It is a great
business with an excellent market position and a strong culture. I am looking
forward to working with Stephen and the team in the coming months as we look
to execute the compelling growth strategy."
