(Sharecast News) - Ten Entertainment has appointed Adam Bellamy, its senior independent director, as chairman of the bowling alley and amusements operator as the leisure sector prepares to reopen.
Bellamy will take over from Nick Basing at the annual general meeting on 5 May. Ten said it was making the change earlier than planned because Bellamy is familiar with the company after joining the board in 2018.

Bellamy is the former chief financial officer or Pure Gym and is on the board of Loungers and In the Style. He will lead Ten as the company reopens its facilities on 17 May under the government's plan. Basing was originally due to stay on until September.

"I am delighted to have been selected to lead Ten Entertainment at such an exciting point in its history," Bellamy said. "I thoroughly enjoy working with this strong and experienced management team. Despite the challenges of the past year, I am confident that we have everything in place to return to growth when we re-open in May."

Julie Sneddon, a non-executive director, will take over as Ten's senior independent director.
