Appointment of CFO

The Board of All Things Considered Group Plc (AQSE: ATC), an independent music company housing talent management, live booking, livestreaming and talent services, is pleased to announce the appointment of Deborah Lovegrove as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and a director of the Company, with immediate effect.

Deborah is a fellow of the ICAEW and has a strong track record of serving in finance related leadership roles for both public and private companies as well as deep music industry experience. Most recently, Deborah was CFO of Made Tech Group plc, an AIM quoted technology consultancy company which she jointed shortly before its IPO in September 2021. Deborah's extensive experience also includes roles as CFO and Finance Director for organisations including YM&U Group, Wavemaker (owned by WPP), Dentsu Aegis and GMTV (subsequently acquired by ITV).

In conjunction with Deborah's appointment to ATC's board of directors, Rameses Villanueva has ceased to be a director of the Company and moves into the role of Group Finance Director.

Adam Driscoll, CEO of ATC Group, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Deborah to the Board and we look forward to benefitting from her strong financial acumen and music industry insights. The Group has evolved considerably since its IPO in 2021, in line with our strategy of building a fully integrated music services business with global reach. Since then, we have expanded our service offering both organically and through acquisitions, grown our teams and client base, and substantially increased the financial scale of the Group. We believe that we have established a strong platform from which to pursue our growth opportunity and that Deborah's appointment will help us build on this momentum.

"I would like to thank Rameses for his contribution to the Group to date. Rameses was an integral part of supporting the Group through its transition to a public company and establishing the foundations we have today. He is valued member of the team and we look forward to his ongoing support as Group Finance Director."
