Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC – Board Changes

Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC, the premium pub and hotel company and London brewer, today announces that Helen Jones has joined as an independent non-executive director with immediate effect.

Helen is an experienced non-executive director. She currently sits on the Boards of international fast-dining restaurant group Vapiano SE and motor accessories and cycling giant, Halfords Group plc, where she chairs the CSR Committee. Helen was Group Executive Director at Caffé Nero, with responsibility for strengthening the brand’s operational management, prior to which she was the Managing Director of Zizzi, the Italian casual dining chain. Helen was also responsible for the UK launch and European roll-out of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and is still involved today as vice-chairman of the Ben & Jerry’s Board.

Helen said: “Three of my aunts ran tenanted pubs in Yorkshire, so there was a strong attraction to Fuller’s. I couldn’t be more excited – it’s a great company that is undergoing an enormous change and I’m looking forward to playing my part in the next chapter in the Fuller’s story.”

Chairman Michael Turner said: “Helen brings with her a wealth of knowledge in the retail and hospitality sectors combined with real entrepreneurial flair – that combination makes her an exciting addition to our Board. She is also an experienced non-executive director and I, and my fellow directors, are looking forward to working with her in the future.”
