Midwich has appointed Adam Councell as the company’s new chief financial officer (CFO).

Councell will join the tech group and become a member of its board with effect from 2 March.

Midwich, a specialist audio visual distributor to the trade market, also confirmed that Stephen Lamb will step down from his role as group finance director and a member of the board on 28 February, following an orderly handover to Councell.

Councell was previously CFO at Marlowe, a position he held from 2021 through to its takeover by Mitie Group in August last year. Prior to this he was group finance director at Fuller, Smith & Turner from 2019 to 2021, and Restore from 2012 to 2019.

“I am thrilled to be joining Midwich at such an exciting time,” Councell said. “It is a great business with an excellent market position and a strong culture. I am looking forward to working with Stephen and the team in the coming months as we look to execute the compelling growth strategy.”

on-executive chairman of Midwich, Andrew Herbert, added: “We are delighted that Adam will join the board as CFO in March. Adam has extensive financial, PLC and leadership experience gained across B2B services and has a proven track record of delivering growth through both organic and acquisition-led strategies.

“I would also like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the board, to thank Stephen Lamb for everything that he has done for Midwich since joining in 2018 and we wish him every success in his new role.”
