Princes Group Plc ( (GB:PRN) ) has shared an update.
Princes Group plc, a major UK and European food and beverage producer, spans categories from ambient foods and fish to Italian products, oils, and drinks, with a mix of well-known brands and customer own-label offerings. The Liverpool-based group serves over 8,000 clients in more than 60 countries through an extensive manufacturing and logistics footprint, positioning it as a key supplier to leading retailers and foodservice operators.
The company announced that Chief Executive Officer Simon Harrison will step down and leave the board on 30 June 2026 after five years with the group, including two as CEO. The board has launched a formal search for a permanent successor and appointed Chief Commercial Officer and executive director Giuseppe Mastrolia as interim CEO from 1 July 2026, while confirming that trading remains in line with expectations.
Giuseppe Mastrolia, who joined Princes in 2024 following its acquisition by NewPrinces and later became Chief Commercial Officer, brings nine years of CEO experience at NewPrinces Group to the interim role. The orderly succession plan, supported by public statements from Chairman Angelo Mastrolia and Harrison, is intended to maintain strategic continuity during the early phase of Princes’ life as a London-listed company and limit disruption for investors, employees, and commercial partners.
