I look forward to working with him as we continue to deliver for our stakeholders and build a better business.”
Interim CFO, Dan Hartley, will support Jamie in a brief handover period. Dan will continue to lead Lowell’s Group Treasury, Tax and Investor Relations teams.

Since then, Dan has been outstanding as a highly valued member of the Group ExCo and Investor Board. His delivery and support to me personally, as well as to the entire company, has been exceptional. I’m certain that Jamie and Dan will form a strong partnership that will ensure the continued development of the whole finance function.”
