In line with Gateley's commitments to growth and to attracting and developing
exceptional talent across the Group, Gateley is pleased to announce the
appointments to the Board of Jenny Goldie-Scot and Sunil Gadhia, both as
Independent Non-Executive Directors, with immediate effect.

Jenny brings a wealth of experience from her executive career in global
financial services and technology businesses, followed by a series of
non-executive director roles within financial services. Jenny spent nearly 23
years at Morgan Stanley where she was latterly Global Head of Strategy,

advisory positions and is currently a non-executive director of HSBC UK Bank

Sunil brings significant experience of accelerating profitable growth in legal
and professional services from his executive career. Sunil was until recently
a partner for 12 years at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, where he
was a member of the firm's Global Executive Committee. Before that, he spent
15 years as a partner at Stephenson Harwood LLP and for six of those years he
was Chief Executive. During his tenure the firm's revenues more than doubled
and it became one of the most profitable mid-sized law firms in the City,
being awarded "Law Firm of the Year" at the British Legal Awards. Sunil has
chaired the Asian Business Association of the London Chamber of Commerce and
has also served on the board of the Advertising Standards Authority.

To support Gateley's growth journey, which is underpinned by strong governance
and risk management, the existing Audit & Risk Committee will be separated
into two committees of the Board with immediate effect: Jenny Goldie-Scot will
chair the newly formed Risk Committee and will become a member of the Audit
Committee.  Martin Pike will chair the Audit Committee and will become a
member of the Risk Committee.  Edward Knapp will Chair the Nomination and
Remuneration Committees and will be a member of the Audit and Risk
Committees.  Sunil Gadhia will become a member of the Nomination and
Remuneration Committees.

Joanne Lake will conclude her term on the Board at the AGM on 24 September
2025, having provided a decade of invaluable service as both an Independent
Non-Executive Director and as Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee.

outstanding client service, our strategy for growth through organic
opportunities and acquisitions, and our commitment to attracting and
developing exceptional talent across the Group, we are delighted to welcome
Jenny Goldie-Scot and Sunil Gadhia to the Board. They will bring remarkable
breadth and depth of experience from their executive and non-executive careers
