JD Wetherspoon area managers join board of directors for first time
Pub chain says it will involve more employees in decision making after run-ins with politicians and investors
JD Wetherspoon has promoted four of its area managers to provide “more pub experience” to its eight-strong board of directors, after a series of run-ins with employees, politicians and investors.
The pub chain flagged the move during its full-year results in October, and on Monday it announced it had appointed four new worker directors – with two named as “employee directors with full plc director status, and two as associate employee directors”.
