Paul will remain as Chairman until his successor is appointed and so will not seek re-election at the 2021 AGM. John Bason, Senior Independent Director, will lead the search.
Paul Walsh said:
‘It has been a privilege to serve for the last 6 years as Chairman of Compass Group, which is a world-class business and a true British success story on the global stage.
