Apurvi has extensive executive experience across numerous well-known

their experience working in the food and beverage and travel sectors,
respectively, and extensive global expertise, they will bring additional
breadth and diversity of backgrounds and experiences and add huge value to the
Board."

 

Each Director of SSP Group plc is subject to annual re-election by
