Pret A Manger, the London-based sandwich chain, has brought back Sinclair Beecham, co-founder of the business, and former Chairman Larry Billett to its management team. The move comes as the company seeks to reduce its significant debt pile, which had reached £698 million by the end of 2022. Billett will join the board as a non-executive director, while Beecham will serve as an adviser. Current chairman Olivier Goudet will step down and be replaced by board member Konrad Meyer.
