Greggs has appointed Lynne Weedall as an independent non-executive director, with effect from 17 May 2022.
Weedall will join the board following the close of the Annual General Meeting, due to take place on that date.
The board also intends that she will be appointed as chair of the remuneration committee, when Helena Ganczakowski steps down in 2023.
She is an experienced people, business and transformation executive, said Greggs, having held senior positions, most recently at Selfridges, and prior to that Carphone Warehouse. She has worked for Whitbread and BUPA.
Weedall is currently the senior independent non-executive director and remuneration committee chair at Dr. Martens plc, and at Stagecoach, and on 3 May 2022 is due to join the board of Softcat plc as non-executive director and chair of the remuneration committee.
Ian Durant, chair of Greggs, said: “We are delighted that such an experienced non-executive director has accepted our invitation to join the Board. Lynne brings with her extensive experience of HR & transformational change, and will add significant value to our Board during this transitional phase and beyond.”
