Inghams appoints new CFO to drive next growth phase as veteran finance chief departs

Inghams Group Ltd. ( (AU:ING) ) has issued an update.

Inghams Group Limited has appointed Grant Douglas as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective October 2026, following an external search for a candidate with deep experience in operational performance, capital allocation, and capital markets. Douglas, a Chartered Accountant and former CFO of Brickworks Limited, brings more than 25 years of international finance and M&A experience in Australia and the U.S., which the company expects will support its next phase of strategic growth and sharpen its focus on earnings quality and returns.

The appointment follows the decision of current Chief Financial and Commercial Officer, Gary Mallett, to step down on 30 September 2026 after seven years with Inghams, during which he built and led the group’s financial and commercial foundations. Management and the board highlighted Mallett’s role in strengthening enterprise-wide capabilities, signalling a planned and orderly transition that aims to preserve continuity while enhancing the company’s financial leadership for shareholders and other stakeholders.
