National Express Group plc: Board changes
Dean Finch to step down as National Express CEO
The Board of National Express Group plc ("National Express")
announces that Dean Finch has tendered his resignation after more
than ten years as Group Chief Executive, in order to take up a new
role as CEO at Persimmon plc.
He will leave the Group towards the end of the year or when a
successor is appointed, in order to complete a smooth handover. A
further announcement will be made once a leaving date has been
agreed. The Board has commenced a full search for his replacement
and will consider both internal and external candidates.
Sir John Armitt, Chairman, said: "We would like to thank Dean
for his enormous contribution to National Express. During his time
as Chief Executive he has transformed the business into a leading
international transport group, with significant growth potential in
all our main markets and a strong and effective management team at
all levels. Recently he has expertly guided us through the
challenge of COVID-19. Dean has the best wishes of all of us at
National Express for his next challenge. In the meantime, the Board
are pleased that Dean will remain with the business until later in
the year or a successor is appointed, to aid a smooth
handover."
Dean Finch said: "It has been a great privilege to be Chief
Executive of National Express. I have developed a great affection
for the company and my outstanding colleagues there. I believe I
will leave National Express in both a strong position to continue
to weather the effects of COVID-19 and well-placed to secure
significant growth opportunities once we emerge from this crisis. I
have learned a lot from the many immensely skilled colleagues in
the business and believe they are a very effective team who will
continue to grasp these opportunities and maintain National
Express' leadership position."
