Ibstock Plc (LSE:IBST) has confirmed that independent non-executive director Adepeju Adebajo will leave the board on 23 September 2026 after deciding to pursue new opportunities, bringing to a close a tenure that began in 2021.
Chair Richard Akers thanked Adebajo for her contribution to the company during her time on the board, recognising her role in supporting Ibstock’s governance and strategic oversight.
The company’s Nomination Committee has started the process of identifying a replacement and will provide a further update once a new independent non-executive director has been appointed. Ibstock said the transition forms part of its ongoing board succession planning and is not expected to affect day-to-day operations.
While the company continues to prepare for a leadership transition at board level, its broader outlook remains mixed. Financial performance has been pressured by declining revenue over recent years, weaker profitability and negative free cash flow during 2025. Although management has pointed to an expected recovery in the second half of 2026, supported by lower capital expenditure, challenges remain around margins, return on capital employed and working capital management.
From a market perspective, the shares continue to trade below key moving averages, reflecting weak technical momentum. However, a dividend yield of around 3.05% provides some valuation support for investors.
