Accrol Group Holdings plc (LON: ACRL), the UK’s leading independent tissue converter, has today announced that John Pilkington has accepted the permanent role of Group Finance Director with immediate effect.

Dan Wright, Executive Chairman of Accrol Group Holdings, said:
“We are delighted that John has accepted the role of permanent Group Finance Director. His knowledge and understanding of the Group, gained during an intense and difficult period for the Group, will allow him to hit the ground running. The Board has been thoroughly impressed with his contribution and commitment to the business over the last seven months and we look forward to working with him even more closely.”
“On behalf of all the directors, I thank Hannah for stepping into the role of Interim CFO and for her work during this time.”
