UK-listed food-and-drink firm Princes names interim CEO as Simon Harrison departs to pursue another role effective 30 June.
Princes Group announced CEO Simon Harrison will leave the UK-listed food-and-drink company on 30 June to pursue a new opportunity. Harrison, who joined Princes five years ago and became CEO in April 2024, will also step down as a board director.
The company, owner of the Branston brand, has begun searching for a permanent replacement and appointed chief commercial officer Giuseppe Mastrolia as interim CEO from July. Mastrolia joined Princes in July 2024 following its acquisition by Newlat and has served as CEO of NewPrinces for nine years.
Princes listed on the London Stock Exchange in October 2024. Chairman Angelo Mastrolia thanked Harrison for his leadership during the integration and transition to public listing.
