Regus appoints Dominik de Daniel as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer

Regus plc ("Regus" or "the Company") today announces that Dominik de Daniel will be appointed Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer as well as a director of Regus plc with effect from 1 November 2015. Dominik de Daniel takes over the CFO role from Dominique Yates who will resign as a director of Regus plc on that date.

Dominik de Daniel brings extensive financial as well as global commercial and leadership experience to Regus. He has been the CFO of Adecco Group for 9 years where he also successfully led their fast-growing Global Solutions division. Adecco Group is the world's leading provider of Human Resource solutions and a Fortune Global 500 company with over 32,000 employees and circa 5,100 branches in over 60 countries and territories around the world. Dominik previously held the CFO position at DIS AG, before the company was ultimately acquired by Adecco Group. 

Dominik will take over the CFO role from Regus's current Chief Financial Officer, Dominique Yates. In his fifth year at Regus, Dominique will be leaving the Company to pursue other opportunities and will remain at Regus for a transitional period to ensure a smooth handover.

"We are delighted that Dominik de Daniel has chosen to join Regus. Dominik is a capable leader who brings highly relevant experience to Regus's finance and operations teams.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dominique Yates for the significant contributions he has made during his time with Regus. He has played an integral role supporting our objectives for rapid growth while also improving the performance of the business. We wish Dominique the very best for the future."

"I would like to personally thank Dominique Yates for all his contribution. He has been a key member of the management team and leaves Regus after a period of significant expansion, but importantly, with the balance sheet and financial returns looking better than ever. I wish him every success for the future.

I look forward to working with Dominik de Daniel. I am sure that his significant experience with Adecco will be very valuable for Regus as we continue to capitalise on the global shift towards flexible working."
