Appointment of Chairman

 

HC Slingsby PLC, one of the market leaders in the distribution of industrial
and commercial equipment, is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew
Kitchingman as Independent Non-Executive Chairman with immediate effect.
Dominic Slingsby will continue his role on the Board of Operations Director.

 

Andrew is Chairman of Mpac Group plc, a non-executive Director of Andrews
Sykes Group plc and Chair of the British Board of Agrément.  He is a Fellow
of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and formerly
worked in corporate finance for a number of firms, including KPMG, Hill
Samuel, Albert E Sharp, Brewin Dolphin and WH Ireland.

 

Andrew is a trustee of the Northern Aldborough Festival charitable
incorporated organisation.  He was previously a trustee of the Leeds Festival
Chorus charity and a non-executive director of MORhomes PLC, Lonpro Holdings
PLC, Incommunities Group Limited and a director of the Cathedral Choir School
Ripon Limited.

 

Morgan Morris, Slingsby's Group Chief Executive commented:

 

'We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the Board as our new Non-Executive
Chairman.  A Bradfordian by birth and a Chartered Accountant, Andrew
previously worked in corporate finance for nearly 30 years, advising smaller
listed and AIM-quoted companies, which will be valuable for the Group.  More
recently, Andrew has built a second career as a non-executive director and
chairman of both AIM-quoted and privately-owned companies, including
significant experience with Yorkshire-headquartered Mpac Group where he
remains chairman, and Bradford-based Incommunities Group, which he served for
seven years until 2020.  Andrew is based in Yorkshire and is active in
several local and community roles, and we welcome his contribution to
Slingsby, given our longstanding presence in the region.'
