Pursuant to UK Listing Rules 6.4.6R (1) and 6.4.6R (4), the Company announces

number of other senior operational and financial positions. Lysanne is
currently the Audit Committee Chair for Genus plc (LSE: GNS), a leading global

On appointment, Lysanne will join the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration

As part of the same planned succession process, Nicola Keach will succeed
Chris Girling as Senior Independent Director with effect from 1 June 2026.
Nicola was appointed as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company
on 1 June 2022 and has been a member of the Company's Audit, Nomination and
Remuneration Committees since her appointment.

Chris will continue to serve as an Independent Non-Executive Director and
member of the Company's Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees until he
steps down and retires from the Board on 31 December 2026, when he will have
served more than 8 years as an Independent Non-Executive Director of JSG.

The Board expresses its sincere thanks to Chris for his significant
contribution during his time as an Independent Non-Executive Director. He has
provided strong leadership of the Audit Committee and has been a highly valued
and trusted adviser to the Chair, the Board and the executive management team.
His commitment and support to the Group have been greatly appreciated.

Jock Lennox, Non-Executive Chair, said:

"We are delighted that Lysanne is joining the Board. Her breadth of
experience, together with her business operations and financial expertise in a
listed company environment, will be of great benefit to JSG. I would also like
to thank Chris Girling for his significant contribution and support as Audit
Committee Chair and Senior Independent Director, and I look forward to
continuing to work with Nicola as she succeeds Chris as Senior Independent
Director."

Lysanne Gray commented:

"I am pleased to be joining Johnson Service Group PLC as an Independent
Non-Executive Director and succeeding Chris Girling as Chair of the Audit
Committee. JSG has built a strong reputation for operational excellence,
