Everyman CFO joins the Ivy Collection

Former Everyman Media Group chief financial officer Jonathan Peters has taken on the same role with the Ivy Collection.

He takes over from former financial director Dominic Wilkinson, who had been in the role just over a year.

Peters had been CFO of Everyman Media Group since 2015. He qualified as a chartered accountant with BDO Stoy Hayward in 1995 and held a number of finance positions at companies including Belron, Whirlpool Corporation, Equifax and Marks & Spencer.

Ivy Collection chief executive David Campbell said: "Richard Caring and I look forward to welcoming Jonathan to the executive team at the Ivy Collection. Jonathan is a very commercial CFO, with extensive international experience, and at Everyman has shown a well-proven ability to help drive both top and bottom-line results in a multi-site environment.

"All of the Ivy Collection is trading well, and we have further openings planned for June in Glasgow and September in Oxford, and an ever-growing number of potential sites, which we hope to progress with very soon."

The Ivy Collection has a 32-strong portfolio of restaurants across the UK inspired by the original Ivy restaurant in London. The group is operated by Ivy owner Richard Caring, but managed through Troia, a separate company to the firm which oversees the Covent Garden institution.
