Golant will work closely with the wider management team and the board during the transition. Everyman said it will provide a further update on the recruitment process “as soon as practicable.”

Philip Jacobson, Non-Executive Chairman, thanked Scrimgeour for his contribution, highlighting his leadership during a pivotal period for the company. 

“We would like to thank Alex for his commitment to Everyman throughout his tenure,” he said. “He has played a pivotal role in the team that successfully led the business through its recovery from COVID, more than doubling revenue and delivering significant EBITDA growth. He has also built a strong and capable operational team.”

Jacobson added that Golant brings substantial experience in the global creative, entertainment and media sectors, with a proven ability to accelerate growth and build high-performance organisations. 

“Working alongside our leadership group, she will continue to deliver exceptional customer experiences, focus on driving sustainable growth, and create long-term value for shareholders,” he commented.
