19 July 2023

 

Scotia Gas Networks Limited and its group of companies including the Issuers
(altogether "SGN") has appointed Simon Kilonback as its new Chief Financial
Officer.

 

Simon has over 25 years' experience in senior finance roles, particularly in
infrastructure and utility businesses. He was the CFO of Transport for London
("TfL") for 5 years, during which time he brought TfL to the point of
financial sustainability from a £1.5 billion operating deficit pre-Covid.

 

More recently, Simon has been the CFO of G.Network, a private equity owned
full fibre broadband business building a proprietary fibre network in the
heart of London. Simon's finance career also spans  Lloyds Banking Group,
HBOS, WH Smith and Sony.

 

Simon will take over from Michael Carmedy, who announced his retirement
earlier this year, after 6 years at SGN and 30 years in the utility sector.

 

SGN's CEO Mark Wild OBE said:

"I'm delighted to welcome Simon to SGN and look forward to working together to
build a thriving and enduring business. He brings a wealth of experience
spanning the public and private sectors.  I have first-hand experience of
working with Simon at TFL and I know he'll bring passion and commitment to SGN
during what is an inspiring, challenging time in the energy sector. I'd also
like to thank Mick Carmedy for his valued contribution and we wish him well in
his retirement."

 

Simon Kilonback said:

"It is exciting to be joining SGN to help lead the business through the next
regulatory cycle and to help shape our role in defining the future of energy
in the UK. Mark is an inspiring leader with big plans for SGN and I'm thrilled
to have the opportunity to work with him again."

 

Simon will join SGN in September 2023.
