Enterprise Inns has appointed former finance director at the Prudential Group Marisa Cassoni as a non-executive director.

Cassoni, who has also been finance director at the Post Office and John Lewis, will sit on the company’s Audit, Nomination and Remuneration committees. She will start on 1 April.

Cassoni is currently a Non-Executive Director of AO World plc, Skipton Group Holdings Limited and The People’s Operator plc, where she chairs the audit committees. She also sat on the Economics Affairs Committee of the CBI and is currently a panel member of the Competition and Markets Authority.

Enterprise Inns chairman Robert Walker said: “We are delighted that Marisa has agreed to join the board in April. We have sought to secure a new non-executive director with outstanding financial experience and qualifications and in Marisa we have achieved that. She brings substantial financial knowledge and expertise which further strengthens the board”.

Cassoni said: “Enterprise Inns is a great business and over the last financial year has made real progress. I see it building on that momentum and focussing on maintaining operational progress so as to reduce debt and generate value for shareholders. I look forward to joining the board.”
