Directorate Change

Simon Hathway to step down as Independent Non-Executive Director

TheWorks.co.uk plc, the UK's leading specialist retailer of affordable,
screen-free activities for the whole family, notes the announcement today by
B&M European Value Retail S.A. ("B&M") and confirms that Simon Hathway
has informed the Board of his intention to step down from his role as
Independent Non-Executive Director in early January 2026, to take on a full
time Executive Director role at B&M.

Simon joined the Board of The Works on 1 November 2024 and is currently Chair
of the Remuneration Committee and member of the Audit and Nomination
Committees. In taking on this new position, Simon will no longer have the
capacity to continue with his Non-Executive Directorship or his other advisory
commitments.

The search to identify Simon's successor is underway. The Board will provide
an update in due course.

Steve Bellamy, Chair of The Works, said: "We are grateful for the significant
contribution Simon has made since joining the Board last year. His retail
experience brought valuable insight at a crucial time for The Works as we
launched our new strategy and capitalised on growth opportunities. On behalf
of everyone at The Works, we wish Simon the best of luck in his new role at
B&M."

Simon Hathway said: "I have greatly valued the opportunity to contribute to
The Work's exciting growth journey and to work alongside such a dedicated and
talented team. The Company's loyal customer base and strong value proposition
leaves it well positioned in the months and years ahead."
