IBMG Announces CEO Transition as Company Enters Next Growth Phase

We announce today that Martin Stables, our CEO since 2021, has decided to step down to pursue other opportunities. Richard Robinson, currently CFO, has been appointed as Interim CEO, effective immediately, while maintaining his CFO duties during the brief transition. Together with Martin, IBMG’s Board of Directors has been conducting a comprehensive search for a permanent successor, which is expected to conclude over the course of the first quarter of 2026.

Martin steps down following the successful completion of a major transformation, leaving IBMG well positioned for sustainable and profitable growth. During his tenure, he played a pivotal role in steering IBMG through a change of ownership, securing a significant refinancing package, and executing key strategic initiatives.

Ensuring Continuity and Momentum

The Board of Directors has been working on a structured succession plan to ensure seamless continuity. Richard Robinson, currently IBMG’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has been appointed Interim CEO, effective immediately.

Richard will guide the company through a planned short transition period while the Board concludes a comprehensive search for a permanent successor. Richard’s deep understanding of the business operations, suppliers, stakeholders and strong financial acumen ensures stability and continued momentum.

On behalf of the Board and the entire Executive Team, we extend our deepest gratitude to Martin for his significant contributions and perseverance. We wish him every success in his future endeavours.

IBMG continues to execute its strategic priorities, delivering exceptional value and service to customers, and driving sustainable growth for stakeholders and partners.
