By Michele Maatouk

Date: Thursday 02 Feb 2023

LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Premium chocolatier Hotel Chocolat said on Thursday that it has appointed Jon Akehurst as its new chief financial officer with effect from May.
Akehurst is a Chartered Accountant, and his career includes management and leadership roles with General Mills, Mars, Aggreko and most recently at Terumo Corporation as CFO of their Aortic division. Hotel Chocolat said he has extensive experience across branded goods, manufacturing and international development.

Matt Pritchard stepped down as CFO on 31 January after nine years with the company and co-founder Peter Harris will be interim CFO until Akehurst takes up the job.

Co-founder and chief executive Angus Thirlwell said: "Jon joins at an exciting time for Hotel Chocolat. His skills will underpin our determination to get back to running a tight ship operating model, with EBITDA of 20%+ in 2025 within our sights."
