Yesterday, the group confirmed that its CEO Diana Hunter would resign with immediate affect, with non-executive chairman David Adams stepping into the leadership role of executive chairman �until further notice�.
Adams has now released a statement that aims to to quell mounting fears over the future of the company, saying it faces a �short-term challenge�.
�We�re a profitable business, with the very best route to market in the UK � and our suppliers, franchisees, producers and customers know this,� he said.
�We�re very grateful to have so many people across the industry stand by our side and rally around us as we overcome this short-term challenge.
�We�ve been heartened by the support and will continue to talk openly to everyone we�re working with � these are relationships we intend to have for years to come.�
The current leadership team at Conviviality will remain in place and will �continue to run the business on a day-to-day basis�.
