Yü Group PLC (AIM: YU.), the independent supplier of gas, electricity and water to the UK corporate sector, is pleased to announce the appointment of Adam Young as Digital Marketing and Sales Director, effective 1 November 2021.

Adam will lead Yü Group's transformation into a data-driven, 'digital by default' business that will further accelerate the Group's growth, profitability and ability to scale. Adam will work alongside Jason Prothero, Commercial and Transformation Director, and be part of Yü Group's further strengthened Executive Committee reporting directly to the CEO.

Prior to this, Adam spent over ten years at Carlsberg UK, where he helped develop the company's sales strategy for the UK.

The appointment follows the Group's interim results for the six months to 30 June 2021 which reported a strong financial and operational performance alongside positive momentum heading into the second half of the year.

"I am delighted to welcome Adam as our Digital Marketing and Sales Director. Adam has a proven track record of driving digital change and will bring relevant expertise and experience to support our digital transformation programme.
