VANCOUVER — Wes Bews will step down as CFO of Boston Pizza International Inc. (BPI) effective December 31, 2018 to pursue other interests. Bews will also step down as a director and the CFO of Boston Pizza GP Inc., the managing general partner of Boston Pizza Royalties Limited Partnership, administrator of the Boston Pizza Royalties Income Fund.
Bews joined T & M Management Services Ltd., a predecessor of BPI, in 2008 and has been the CFO of BPI and a director and the CFO of Boston Pizza GP Inc. since 2010.
