“I know Matt Cawte is looking forward to a well-earned career break. He leaves the business and the team in great shape, having today released strong annual results for Vista Group, delivering on market expectations, and with an unqualified audit report from PwC. On behalf of Vista Group, I would like to thank him and wish him all the very best for his future endeavours.

“With our strong internal team and succession planning in place we are delighted to have someone of Matt Thompson’s calibre and experience to step into the role of Chief Financial Officer.
