the role of Audit Committee Chair from 20 May 2026.

 

Stephen Bird, Interim Executive Chair said, "We are delighted that Nick and
Wilf have accepted our invitation to join the Board, further strengthening the
depth and breadth of our Non-Executive team. Nick brings extensive financial
and leadership expertise in a listed company environment, and Wilf brings
extensive leadership and sector-specific flooring experience - the combined
contribution of both will be of significant benefit to our business. I would
also like to personally thank Robin on behalf of the Board for his three years
of valued service to Headlam."
