Directorate Change

Next 15 Group plc (LSE: NFG) today announces that Jonathan Peachey has informed the Company of his intention to step down from his role as the Group’s Chief Operating Officer and from the Group’s Board on 31 October. He will continue to serve as a Senior Advisor to Next 15 through to the end of the financial year on 31 January 2026 to ensure continuity and facilitate an orderly transition of his responsibilities to other senior executives.

Jonathan joined Next 15 in 2018 and became Chief Operating Officer in 2019. He was appointed to the Board in 2023. During his time with the business, Jonathan has played a key role in the Company's development and growth. He led the acquisitions of SMG and Engine that diversified Next 15’s capabilities and has recently helped initiate the current simplification process.

Sam Knights, CEO of Next 15, said: "Jonathan has made a huge contribution to Next 15 over the past seven years. We are pleased he will remain as Senior Advisor until year-end to ensure a smooth transition and support the new leadership team as we deliver our growth strategy."

Jonathan Peachey said: "After seven fantastic years at Next 15, it feels like the right moment to start a new chapter in my professional life. I’m proud of the role I’ve played in building a stronger Group, developing talented teams, and positioning the business for future success, and I’m excited about applying what I’ve learned in my next leadership challenge. Sam and Mickey are brilliant leaders and I know that they will take Next 15 to new heights. I’m leaving confident that the businesses and teams I love are in exceptional hands. I’d like to thank Sam, the Board and Tim Dyson for all the generous support they have shown me over the years."
