AA plc announces that Chris Jansen and Andy Boland to leave the Company
The Board of the AA plc announces today that, by mutual agreement, Chris Jansen will stand down as Chief Executive. He will resign from the Board with immediate effect and, following an orderly transition, will leave the Company. Bob Mackenzie will lead the Company in his capacity as Executive Chairman.
Bob Mackenzie, Executive Chairman, said: "We completely understand and respect Chris's desire to seek new challenges outside the AA. When the Management Buy-In team acquired the business, backed by many leading institutional investors, we knew that this would create change at the AA. We wish Chris all the best and we are certain he will secure a new and equally significant role in the future."
Chris Jansen, Chief Executive, said: "I was appointed by the previous private equity owners as the CEO to improve the business and to enable a change of ownership to take place. Bob and his executive colleagues did a great job raising the finance to acquire the business and as a result my role has now changed substantially. I have therefore agreed with Bob to find a new executive opportunity outside the AA. The AA is a fantastic brand and I have relished my time at the Company."
Andy Boland, the Chief Financial Officer, will also be leaving the Company and a further announcement will be made in due course about the timing of his departure.
