Chief Financial Officer update
Diploma PLC ("Diploma" or the "Group") today announces that Chris Davies,
Chief Financial Officer, has resigned from his role and will step down from
the Board with immediate effect. This decision follows a recent company event
where, through a lapse in judgement, his personal behaviour did not meet the
high standards required of the Group's leadership team.
His resignation is unrelated to Diploma's financial performance and the
Group's guidance for FY25 is unchanged.
Wilson Ng, Group Financial Controller, has been appointed Acting Group Chief
Financial Officer. A process to identify a permanent successor is being
initiated.
Notes for editors
Details of Chris Davies' remuneration arrangements on stepping down from the
Board, which are consistent with the Group's remuneration policy, will be made
available on the Group's website www.diplomaplc.com
(http://www.diplomaplc.com) as required by section 430(2B) of the Companies
Act 2006. No payments will be made for loss of office.
Wilson Ng, Acting Chief Financial Officer

years of international finance experience. Wilson joined Diploma from Spirax
Group plc where he served as a divisional Finance Director (Steam
