Regional reporting structure

Following the appointment of Dominic Blakemore as Deputy CEO, Compass will eliminate the role of Chief Operating Officer - Europe.  As a result, we will make a small change to our regional reporting structure and move Turkey out of our European region into our Rest of World region.

Going forward, the Group's regions will therefore be North America (unchanged), Europe (excluding Turkey) and Rest of World (including Turkey). Compass will publish restated historical financials for this new structure on 24 January 2018.
