Rupert Clevely steps down as Geronimo Inns managing director

Rupert Clevely is to step down as managing director of Geronimo Inns.

Clevely, who founded Geronimo, now owned by Young's, in 1995 will stay on as a non executive director.

He will be replaced by commercial director Ed Turner, who has worked with the company since 1999.

Turner will continue to be responsible for marketing and for training and recruitment in all of the managed pubs - both Geronimo and Young's.

Nicholas Bryan, chairman of Young's, said: "These changes represent a smooth and effective succession plan within Geronimo. I would like to thank Rupert for the excellent job he has done in leading Geronimo during its integration into Young's, and I am delighted that he will continue to contribute his considerable experience, and his feel for the business he created, in a non-executive capacity. In Ed, we have a ready-made successor who has spent many years working with Rupert to grow Geronimo, and who will bring great vigour and energy to his new role as we develop the business further.

"With Patrick Dardis and Ed Turner, responsible for the Young's and Geronimo estates respectively, both reporting to Stephen Goodyear, the chief executive, we have very strong leadership in place to continue driving the profitable growth of both businesses."
