The announcement comes soon after ATG’s decision to employ Deloitte & Touche to help it raise funds to support a planned expansion drive over the next few years. As part of these development plans, last week it also announced that it had acquired the 1,200-seat Savoy theatre in partnership with the Tulbart Group. It is currently the second largest theatre group both in the West End and the regions.

ATG managing director Howard Panter said: “We are delighted to welcome Simon to the board of ATG. This is a very exciting time for the company and as we look to expand, Simon’s enthusiasm and wealth of experience across many areas of business will be a tremendous asset to us.”
