Essentra plc announces that Jack Clarke has informed the Board of his decision to retire as Executive Director of the Company. Jack will continue in his role until a successor is in place to ensure a smooth transfer of responsibilities and, in line with Jack's retirement plans, the Company expects him to leave no later than 31 March 2025. The Company has commenced a search, of both internal and external candidates, for Jack's successor.

Jack joined the Company in April 2022 as an experienced CFO and, during his tenure, he has completed the strategic reviews and transitional arrangements that led to the successful sale of the Company's Packaging and Filters businesses, and the subsequent launch of Essentra as a pure-play Components business.
