Signals at GB Group plc

Leadership Change

EMEA

GBG chair Richard Longdon is retiring effective November 30, 2026, after a 65% share price decline during his tenure. The board has started a search for a permanent successor, with Liz Catchpole as interim chair if none is appointed by December 1, 2026.

Leadership read: A change at the top rarely stays at the top. GB Group plc's move reshapes the layer beneath it in the sector as a new leader sets priorities and the team re-forms. Watch the first two or three appointments that follow; they signal direction more reliably than any statement.
