The Mission Group plc ("MISSION", "the Company" or "the Group", AIM: TMG), the alternative group for ambitious brands, announces that after ten years at the helm David Morgan will be retiring as Executive Chairman of the Group from 30 September 2021.  Robert Day will also retire from the Board at this time having been instrumental alongside David in the revitalisation of MISSION over the last ten years.

David will be replaced by Julian Hanson Smith as Non Executive Chairman who has served as a Non Executive Director of MISSION since 2015 as part of a seamless transition that has been planned for some time.

Commenting on the share sale, David Morgan, Chairman of The MISSION Group, said: "This is a perfect transition and I'm delighted that Julian has agreed to the follow on. He brings deep understanding of our business and sector and has a superb relationship with the management team and in particular our Group CEO James Clifton who is very much leading from the front.  I will remain a significant shareholder in the confidence that the business is in safe and dynamic hands."

Following institutional demand, and, as part of these successions plans, David Morgan and Robert Day sold, in aggregate, 3,000,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") at 80p per share on 10 June 2021.
