MJ Hudson Group plc

(the "Company", "Group" or "MJ Hudson")

Directorate Change

MJ Hudson Group plc (AIM:MJH), the specialist service provider to the asset management industry, announces that its Chief Financial Officer,  Peter Connell, has informed the Board of his decision to step down as a Director of the Company.  The Board approved this change at the Company board meeting on 31 October 2022.

Peter will remain as the Group's Chief Financial Officer as it finalises its full year results for the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 (''FY22''), after which there will be a transition to a new chief financial officer. To ensure minimal disruption, the process to find Peter's replacement is already well underway and the Company expects to be able to provide a further update in the announcement of its FY22 full year results.  

Matthew Hudson, CEO of MJ Hudson said:

``Peter has been with the Group since its inception when it was a single team in one location, compared with over 400 people across 10 locations today. Peter helped to steer the Company through its admission to AIM in 2019 and its considerable growth, both organically and by acquisition. He and I have been discussing for a while his long term plans to start stepping back. He will remain as CFO for now but has decided to step down from the main Board. Once a new CFO is in place, he will stay with the business to assist an orderly transition for a period. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him, on behalf of the Board and colleagues, for his hard work, dedication and contribution during his time with us. ´´
