Board changes
The Board of Macfarlane Group announces today that John Love has
chosen to retire as Group Finance Director on 31st December 2020
and succeeding him in this position will be Ivor Gray whose
appointment will be effective on the 1st January 2021.
John joined Macfarlane Group in 1996 and was appointed Group
Finance Director in 1999. Throughout his career John has worked
tirelessly and effectively in helping lead the Group through
recovery, re-positioning and into its current growth phase. The
strong financial and market position the business has today is in
large part down to his efforts.
Following an extensive review of both internal and external
candidates Ivor Gray, currently Group Financial Controller and
Company Secretary has been chosen by the Board as successor to John
Love as the Group Finance Director. A qualified chartered
accountant, Ivor has worked at Macfarlane Group for 24 years in a
variety of financial and commercial roles including Financial
Director of Macfarlane Labels, General Manager of Macfarlane USA
and Commercial Director of Macfarlane Packaging Distribution. Ivor
has a wide experience and an in-depth knowledge of the business,
making him the ideal candidate for the role of Group Finance
Director.
In order to ensure continuity and a smooth transition of
responsibilities, Ivor Gray will be appointed to the Board of
Macfarlane Group with immediate effect, in advance of assuming the
Group Finance Director role. John Love will remain as a director of
Macfarlane Group PLC until 31 March 2021 at which point he will
fully retire from the Board.

knowledge and experience of the business will enable an effective
and orderly transition and help ensure Macfarlane Group continues
