Frenkel Topping Group Plc announced the appointment of Christopher Mills as Non-Executive Chairman . Mr. Mills joined the board of Frenkel Topping as Non-Executive Director on 20 May 2020. Pursuant to a number of recent exits by Harwood Capital Management, Mr. Mills has consequently stepped down from a number of company boards as a non-executive director.

This has given Mr. Mills capacity to take on the role as Non-Executive Chairman of Frenkel Topping and provided him more time to devote to the business in which he is a major shareholder. Mr. Mills founded Harwood Capital Management in 2011, a successor to its former parent company JO Hambro Capital Management, which he co-founded in 1993 and of which he was formerly the Chief Investment Officer. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer and Investment Manager of North Atlantic Smaller Companies Investment Trust plc, aUKlisted investment trust, and a non-executive Director of several companies including AssetCo plc, MJ Gleeson plc and Oryx International Growth Fund Limited.

Former Chairman, Tim Linacre, will remain on the Board of the Company, taking up the position of Senior Independent Non-Executive Director to support Frenkel Topping's strategy going forward. Mr. Linacre joined the board of Frenkel Topping in 2018 with more than 30 years' experience in financial services as a stockbroker and an investment banker and more latterly in financial public relations.
