 Directorate Changes

FireAngel (AIM: FA.), a leading developer and supplier of home safety
products, announces the appointment with immediate effect of Graham Bird as
Senior Independent Director. The Company also announces that Jon Kempster,
Non-Executive Director, has resigned as a director of the Company with effect
from 30 September 2023.

Graham is currently the CFO of XP Factory plc, one of the UK's pre-eminent
experiential leisure businesses, which is quoted on AIM. In 2021, Graham was
appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Universe Group plc, an AIM quoted
provider of transaction products and services to the retail industry where he
served until the company was sold in 2022.

Graham was one of the founding employees of Gresham House plc where, alongside
Tony Dalwood, he was responsible for establishing and managing a successful
strategic equity business unit which focuses on both quoted and unquoted
equity investments using the principles and practices of private equity. He
was subsequently appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Rockwood Strategic
plc in June 2021 as a representative of Gresham House, a substantial
shareholder, and remained a director until September 2022.

Prior to joining Gresham House, Graham spent six years as a senior executive
at PayPoint Plc, latterly as director of strategic planning and corporate
development. He was also executive chairman and president of PayByPhone, a
multi-national mobile payments technology division of PayPoint operating in
Canada, the UK and France between 2010 and 2014.

Between 2005 and 2009, he was head of strategic investment and all corporate
finance activity at SVG Investment Managers, the public equities team within
SVG Capital plc. He joined SVG from JPMorgan Cazenove, where he was a director
in the corporate finance department, including 3.5 years establishing,
building and leading Cazenove's corporate finance business in South Africa.

He was a non-executive director of Journey Group plc from 2007 until 2016,
including periods as chairman of the audit and nomination committees, and
acting chairman when Journey Group was subject to a successful takeover bid by
private equity. Graham, who is a chartered accountant, began his career in
audit and corporate finance at Deloitte and holds an MA in Economics from the
University of Cambridge.

Further information in accordance with paragraph (g) of Schedule Two of the
AIM Rules for Companies on Graham Bird is set out at the end of this
announcement.

 

Andrew Blazye, Non-Executive Chair of FireAngel, commented: "I'm pleased to
welcome Graham to the board of FireAngel and look forward to working together
with him again and benefitting from his experience. I also wish to thank Jon
Kempster for his contribution to the Company and wish him well in his future
endeavours."
