RNS Number : 6952C  Hays PLC  24 February 2022

24 February 2022

 

DIRECTORATE CHANGE

 

Hays plc (the Company), the leading global specialist recruitment company,
announces that Paul Venables, Group Finance Director since May 2006, has
decided to retire as a Director of the Company on 30 September 2022, and focus
on further developing his non-executive portfolio.

 

As part of the Company's succession planning and following a thorough
selection process, Hays is delighted to announce that James Hilton will
succeed Paul as Group Finance Director.  James has been Group Financial
Controller at Hays since 2018, having previously been European Finance
Director, UK&I Financial Controller and Head of Investor Relations.
 James joined Hays in 2008 from Dresdner Kleinwort after qualifying as a
Chartered Accountant with KPMG in 2002.  James and Paul will continue to work
closely together over the coming months to ensure a seamless transition, and
James will join the Hays plc Board on 1 October 2022.

 

Alistair Cox, Chief Executive of Hays plc, said:

 

"Paul has made a massive contribution to our company over the last 16 years,
and he leaves the business in the best possible shape and with significant
opportunities ahead.  He has been a trusted and talented support to me
throughout, and I wish him the very best in his well-earned retirement.

 

"It is testament to Paul's personal investment in the development of his team
that we have in James someone with all the skills, experience, and insight to
now step up as our new  Group Finance Director.  I have worked extensively
with James over many years and very much look forward to continue to work
alongside him in his new role."

 

The Company confirms that there is no further information about James Hilton
requiring disclosure under paragraph 9.6.13 (1) to (6) of the Listing Rules of
the UK Listing Authority.
