Board Changes

 

23 March 2023 - QinetiQ Group plc ('QinetiQ') today announces that Michael
Harper, who has been a Non-executive Director since November 2011; and Deputy
Chair and Senior Independent Director since January 2012, is to retire from
the Board with effect from the conclusion of the 2023 Annual General Meeting
("AGM").

 

Following Michael's retirement, Steve Mogford, Non-executive Director, will
become the Group's Senior Independent Director ("SID").

 

Commenting on today's announcement, Neil Johnson, Group Chair of QinetiQ,
said:

 

"I would like to thank Michael for his consistently invaluable contribution to
both the Board and the wider QinetiQ family.  As Deputy Chair and SID, his
wise counsel and the sharing of his wealth of experience, has been appreciated
by all who have worked with him in pursuit of QinetiQ's global growth
strategy.  On a personal note, I would particularly like to thank Michael for
his support, guidance and advice when I joined the Board, and subsequently as
an outstanding SID and valued sounding board.  He will be missed, and we all
wish him well in a richly deserved retirement."

 

"We are indeed fortunate to have Steve Mogford, a Board member since August
2022, available to take on the SID role as Michael retires.  Since joining
the Board, Steve has brought the benefit of his wealth of experience in both
executive and non-executive roles across a breadth of sectors, including
international defence and security.  This has enhanced the skill sets of our
Board, and means he is extremely well equipped to take on the additional
challenges of this role.  I very much look forward to working with Steve as
SID following the AGM."
