Everyman Media taps Elizabeth Lake for CFO role

British independent cinema group Everyman Media named Elizabeth Lake as its next chief financial officer on Wednesday morning.

Everyman revealed that on 16 September, Lake will take over from current CFO Jonathan Peters and join the AIM-listed group from Science in Sport, where she has been acting as the Lancashire-based firm's finance director for the past three years.

Prior to joining SIS in 2016, Lake was Hugo Boss' UK and Ireland finance director.

Chairman Paul Wise said: "Elizabeth has a strong, relevant background and experience in the AIM-listed business as well as larger multi-site commercial operations.

"This will be of immense value to our CEO and the senior management team at Everyman as we continue our successful growth story, opening new venues and developing our existing business."

As of 0840 BST, Everyman shares had crept forward 0.13% to 182.24p.
