Peter Hearl will resign as chairman of Endeavour Group amid broader boardroom changes following months of animosity between the alcohol retailer and hotels group and its largest shareholder, billionaire publican Bruce Mathieson.
The operator of the Dan Murphy’s and BWS brands told investors on Wednesday that Mr Hearl would be replaced by Ari Mervis, the former chief executive of Murray Goulburn. Mr Mervis became chairman of department store group Myer in November.
