Bob Ivell, a former managing director of Scottish and Newcastle's managed pubs division, has joined Mitchells & Butlers as a non-executive director.
His is the latest appointment to a board that has seen extensive change over the past few months, including the departure in March of chief executive Adam Fowle, who was replaced by interim chief executive Jeremy Blood.
Ivell has more than 30 years' experience of the food and beverage sector at food-led managed restaurants and pubs. He is currently senior independent director of Britvic, chairman of David Lloyd Leisure Limited and a board advisor to the Delphi Partnership, a corporate finance advisory firm. He was previously managing director of the Scottish & Newcastle managed pubs division, which now forms the majority of the Punch managed pubs division. He has also been chairman of Regent Inns and managing director of Beefeater Restaurants, one of Whitbread's pub restaurant brands.
