DS Smith Plc has recently appointed Adrian Marsh as the company’s Group Finance Director succeeding Steve Dryden who has now left the company.

Adrian moves to DS Smith from Tesco.  Steve Dryden stepped down on 28 June following the publication of the company’s end of year results that showed an increase in revenue of 86% and an increase in profit of 77% compared with the previous period.  DS Smith is a major supplier of packing materials widely used throughout the moving industry.

“I am very excited to be joining DS Smith at such an important stage in the Company's history. I have been extremely impressed by the business and the management and look forward to supporting the Board in driving the Company's development."
