Directorate Change

Marshalls, a leading manufacturer of sustainable solutions for the built environment, today announces the appointment of Simon Bourne as Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect.

Simon was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer on 27 November 2025. At that time, a search and selection process was initiated with independent advisers to appoint a permanent Chief Executive Officer. This process included a robust evaluation of internal and external candidates.

Simon's appointment reflects his extensive business and leadership experience, having been with the Group for more than 10 years in a variety of senior operational and commercial roles, and a full member of the Board since 2022. His appointment supports the Board's focus on execution as the Group accelerates its delivery of the 'Transform & Grow' strategy.

Commenting on the changes, Vanda Murray OBE, Chair, said:

"Simon has been integral to the growth and development of the Group over the last 10 years. His appointment not only supports our desire to accelerate the execution of the Group's strategy but is deserved recognition of his proven ability to drive change and continuous improvement throughout the Group's businesses."

Simon Bourne, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"I am honoured to be appointed as Marshalls' Chief Executive Officer. We have a strong group of businesses, built on talented people and a culture that values accountability, service and performance. The disciplined execution of our 'Transform & Grow' strategy and the strengthening of our operational foundations will underpin the sustainable future growth of the Group and will be my immediate focus."
