Wood Announces New Executive Leadership Appointments

John Wood Group PLC ('Wood' or 'the Company') today announces the changes to
its Executive Committee with the appointment of two new executive leaders.

Marla Storm and Michael Rasmuson will join Wood as Chief Human Resources
Officer (CHRO) and Group General Counsel respectively. These appointments
follow the retirement of Wood's current human resources leader, Lesley Birse,
and its current Group General Counsel and Company Secretary, Martin McIntyre,
who will remain as Company Secretary until a successor for this role is
appointed.

Marla Storm joins Wood from Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure
group, where she was CHRO for its buildings, civils and investments business
in the U.S. Prior to this she held HR leadership positions in Boeing and
McKesson.

Michael Rasmuson joins Wood from Nabors Industries, a global provider of
advanced technology for the energy industry where he was SVP, General Counsel
& Chief Compliance Officer. Having started his career as a private
practice lawyer, Michael was formerly a long-term leader at Baker Hughes, one
of the world's largest energy services companies, latterly serving as
Executive Counsel for its product lines.

The changes will be effective on January 2, 2024. Both leaders will be based
in Texas, the U.S. and report to Wood's CEO.

 

Ken Gilmartin, CEO said:

"I want to sincerely thank Lesley and Martin for their valuable contribution
as long term leaders at Wood and wish them the very best.

"I am pleased to welcome Marla and Michael to Wood's leadership team. They are
both accomplished business leaders with highly relevant experience in their
key disciplines.  I am confident a balanced executive team across the U.K.
and the U.S. enables us to best support our clients and employees as we
continue to progress on our strategy to deliver sustainable growth."

These appointments follow the announcement of Wood's new CFO, Arvind Balan who
will join Wood in April 2024.
