Non-Executive Director Changes

 

Ramsdens Holdings PLC, the diversified financial services provider and
retailer, announces that, in line with its board succession plan, Steve Smith,
a Non-Executive Director, will step down from the Board on 1 February 2023.
Steve joined the Board when Ramsdens was admitted to AIM in February 2017 and
is a member of the Audit & Risk, Remuneration and Nomination Committees.

 

In addition, the Group announces, with effect from 1 November 2022, the
appointment of Karen Ingham to the Board as a non-executive director.  Karen
will join the Audit & Risk, Remuneration and Nomination Committees from
the start of her appointment.

 

Karen has extensive experience across several leading consumer-facing and
financial services businesses as well as a proven track record in developing
and improving brands' customer experience to support their profitable growth.
Since 2017, Karen has held the position of Vice President at Expedia Group,
the online travel and shopping company, in commercial sales and support. Karen
is also currently a Non-Executive Director at Newcastle Building Society.

 

Previously, Karen spent almost ten years with Virgin Media, including holding
the role of Director of Customer Service, and a decade at the UK division of
France Telecom (now Orange S.A.), latterly as Director of Customer Experience
& Process.

 

Andy Meehan, Non-Executive Chairman of Ramsdens commented:

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Steve for his significant
contributions during his time on the Board, especially his invaluable
knowledge and experience of publicly listed businesses which helped the
Group's smooth transition to being a public company and our growth and
strategic progress since.   Steve has decided now is the time to move on and
we wish him well for the future.

I am delighted to welcome Karen to the Ramsdens team.  Karen's wealth of
experience across leading consumer-facing businesses, notably in roles focused
on the customer experience, will be invaluable to supporting Ramsdens' future
growth plans. With her deep understanding of digital-led brands as well as
branch-led financial services businesses, Karen is an excellent addition to
the Board, and we are looking forward to her contributions as Ramsdens
continues to deliver against its long-term growth strategy."
