The board of Keywords Studios plc announced the sudden and unexpected passing of its Chairman, Ross Graham. Ross had been Chairman of Keywords since its listing in 2013, and oversaw the Group's growth over the last ten years from a small business with three studios into a leader in the video games industry with a global presence. The board had previously appointed Don Robert as Non-executive Director and Chair Designate as part of a planned succession, with Ross due to retire from the Board at the annual general meeting (AGM) to be held on 26 May 2023.

Due to these unfortunate circumstances, the board has brought forward this succession and appointed Don as Chair with immediate effect.
