Further to its announcement on 30 March 2023, the Company confirms, following the Annual General Meeting yesterday, the appointments of Zillah Byng-Thorne to the Board of M&C Saatchi as independent Non-Executive Chair and Chris Sweetland as a Non-Executive Director to the Board of M&C Saatchi with immediate effect.
