Appointment of Chair

 

iomart Group plc (AIM: IOM), the cloud computing company, is pleased to
announce the appointment of Lucy Dimes as Independent Non-Executive Chair of
the Company, with effect from the closing of the AGM on 30 August 2022. This
follows the decision by our exiting Chair, Ian Steele, not to stand for
re-election as previously announced.

 

Lucy is an accomplished business leader having operated in senior executive
positions in FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and private equity owned companies spanning
telecoms, technology, business services and financial services. Lucy has
substantial experience in complex, highly regulated international markets in
product innovation, market entry, scaling for growth and expansion.

Lucy also sits on the board of Babcock International Group plc, the c.£4bn
turnover defence & aerospace group, and is an advisor to the automation
and AI specialist software developer Intelygenz S.A. Lucy previously sat on
the Berendsen plc board, a c.£1bn turnover textile services business, before
it was acquired by Elis S.A. in 2017.

 

Lucy is passionate about technology, customer experience, diversity and
sustainability.

Reece Donovan, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are delighted to welcome Lucy as the new chair of the Board of iomart. Her
considerable experience and insight will be invaluable to us as we continue to
pursue a successful growth strategy. I very much look forward to working with
her in the future."

"On behalf of the full company, I would like to thank Ian for his six years of
first class commitment and service.  He leaves with our best wishes."

 Lucy Dimes, incoming Non-Executive Chair, commented:

"I am delighted to be joining the Board of iomart, a company I have admired
for a number of years.  The UK does not have many home grown technology
businesses, and, over the last 20 years since its inception, iomart has
evolved to become one of the UK's largest and most successful independent
providers of managed cloud computing services. I welcome this fantastic
opportunity to work with Reece and the rest of the Board to help realise the
Company's full potential in the future. "
