Metro announces that Simon Mander has resigned his position as Group CEO and will

be leaving the company on 10 May 2024. Current Director Simon Bennett has been

appointed Executive Director, with the leadership team now reporting to him.

and dedicated team in New Zealand and Australia. I wish them every success in the
