Mitie Group plc (the "Company") - Board change

 

Mitie Group plc ('Mitie') today announces the appointment of a new
Non-Executive Director.  Penny James will join the Board, the Audit and
Nomination Committees with effect from 1 February 2024. Penny will also become
Chair of the Audit Committee when the incumbent Chair (Mary Reilly) steps down
from that position following completion of the Annual Report and Accounts of
the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

 

Penny brings extensive financial services experience with strong leadership
skills, financial and risk expertise. Penny was Chief Executive Officer (and
previously Chief Financial Officer) of Direct Line Insurance Group plc. Prior
to this she held a number of roles including Group Chief Risk Officer and
Director of Group Finance at Prudential plc, Group CFO at Omega Insurance
Holdings Limited, and CFO of UK General Insurance, at Zurich Financial
Services.

 

Penny is currently serving as a Co-Chair of the FTSE Women Leaders Review,
Non-Executive Interim Chair for Hargreaves Lansdown and Non-Executive Director
of QBE Insurance Group Limited.

 

Derek Mapp, Chairman, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Penny to our
Board. The majority of our existing board has been in place now for over 6
years and, as we look to bring in new talent to manage the succession planning
that will inevitably take place over the next three years, Penny will bring
exceptional commercial, strategic and financial skills and Board level
experience. We recognise the importance of both gender and diversity
representation on our Board, as reflecting the diversity of Mitie's 65,000
colleagues."

 

There is no other information to be disclosed pursuant to LR9.6.13R in respect
