Accrol Group Holdings plc announced that Chris Welsh has joined the Board as Chief Financial Officer. As detailed in the HY23 Results announcement, Chris succeeds Richard Newman, who has now resigned as CFO and stepped down from the Board but, to ensure a smooth transition, has agreed to remain with the Company until the FY23 audit process is completed and the Final Results are released.

Before his move to Accrol, Chris held several senior finance roles at the multinational chemical manufacturing group, Ineos, most latterly as Head of Financial Reporting at the Enterprises Division. Chris is a Chartered Accountant, who qualified with PwC in 2015.
