Capita Board Update
On 2 March 2017 Capita plc (Capita), a leading UK provider of
technology-enabled business process and customer management services,
announced that Andy Parker would be stepping down from the Group Board and
leaving the Group later in the year and that the Board had commenced a process
to select a new Chief Executive. The search process is well advanced.
Today, Capita announces that Andy Parker will step down from the Board and
leave Capita on 15 September 2017 to pursue the next stage of his career. Nick
Greatorex, Capita’s Group Finance Director, will be appointed as Interim
Chief Executive from that date until a successor takes up the post as
Capita’s new Chief Executive. During this interim period, Nick will also
continue with his responsibilities as Group Finance Director.
Sir Ian Powell, Chairman, said:
“I would like to thank Andy Parker for his continued commitment to Capita
through this transitional period and for the 17 years of service he has given
to the Group. On behalf of the Board I wish him well in his future career. I
am pleased with progress in our search process for a successor. The
appointment of Nick Greatorex as Interim Chief Executive during this
transition period will enable strong continuity for the business. Nick’s
in-depth experience of working in senior roles at the heart of Capita will
give the Group strength of leadership during this period. Nick will be fully
supported in his interim dual role by the Board and the Group and Divisional
finance teams and I am delighted that he has agreed to take up the role of
Interim Chief Executive.”
