(Reuters) – Upper Crust owner SSP said on Thursday Geert Verellen will join in early April as CFO designate, as current finance head and deputy CEO Jonathan Davies decided to retire after 20 years with the company.
Verellen will take on the role of CFO and join the board from June 9, 2025, and Davies will remain on the board until Sept. 30 and continue as Deputy CEO until the end of December 2025, London-based SSP said.
Verellen comes from Canadian consumer packaged goods maker Maple Leaf Foods, where he has been CFO for four years.
The management changes come over a month after the cafes, bars and restaurants operator said it was planning an initial public offering in India of airport lounge operator Travel Food Services, its venture with K Hospitality Corp.
