Farah Golant CBE, Interim CEO, commented:
"I am pleased to welcome Sheree to Everyman. She has extensive financial, commercial and public markets experience, and I am confident that she will contribute strongly to the growth of the business.
I am also pleased to be welcoming Charles to the Executive Team on an interim basis. I am confident that his broad cross-media experience and strong creative vision will further strengthen the Group's offering.
