Games Workshop is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Lam as
Non-Executive Chair of the Company with effect from 1 November 2024.  Mark
has been an independent Non-Executive Director of the Company and the Senior
Independent Director since 2023.

 

A formal recruitment process was followed with the Nomination Committee
working with a third-party board-level recruiter.

 

Mark takes over from John Brewis. As referenced in our recent Annual Report,
John Brewis did not intend to stand for re-election at next year's AGM and had
therefore asked the Nomination Committee to commence a search for the next
Non-Executive Chair. John Brewis will be retiring from the role of
Non-Executive Chair of Games Workshop with effect from 1 November 2024, and
from the Board of Games Workshop with effect from 31 December 2024.

 

Mark is an experienced board chair and director, whose commercial experience
spans both start-up businesses and listed companies. Mark is Singaporean and
his international experience includes supply chains and business operations in
the Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe. He has held senior positions in
retail, telecommunications, and healthcare, including as Chief Technology
Officer of Openreach. Mark is currently Chair of the Royal Free London
hospital group and a Non-Executive Director at Lowland Investment Company PLC.

 

The Company will be appointing a new Senior Independent Director in due
course.
