Halma appoints new Chief Financial Officer

Halma, the global group of life-saving technology companies, today announces
the appointment of Steve Gunning as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Steve will
join Halma on 16 January 2023 and will be appointed to Halma's Board at that
time.

The appointment enables the orderly transition of the CFO and Group Chief
Executive roles at Halma. Steve will succeed current Halma CFO Marc Ronchetti
who, as previously announced, was appointed Chief Executive Designate in June
2022 and will move to become Group Chief Executive in April 2023 when Andrew
Williams retires from that role.

Steve was most recently CFO of International Airlines Group, the Anglo-Spanish
airlines group that was formed through the merger of British Airways (BA) and
Iberia. Before that Steve held several senior commercial and finances roles at
the group, including CFO of BA and Chief Executive of IAG Cargo. Steve spent
the early part of his career working in finance and audit roles at
PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Andrew said: "Steve is a proven FTSE 100 CFO and leader, with a focus on
building world class finance teams, and is a fantastic addition to Halma. His
appointment enables a seamless transition of both the CFO and CEO roles,
ensuring that Halma is well positioned to deliver continued success."

Marc said: "Steve brings a tremendous breadth of experience and I look forward
to working with him during the transition period and as part of my leadership
team."

Steve said: "I am delighted to be joining Halma, which is a company I have
known and admired for many years. Its purpose - to grow a safer, cleaner,
healthier future for everyone, every day - is highly relevant to the needs of
the world today and provides strong opportunities for sustainable growth."
