return to the Group as Chair, and I look forward to working with him moving
forward. He will provide the Board with strong leadership and be a great
support to both the Non-Executive Directors and the Executive team. I would
also like to take this opportunity to thank Tanith for her tenure as Interim
Chair and I am pleased that she will remain with the Board as Senior
Independent Director."

Leslie Van de Walle commented "I am excited to be re-joining the Robert
Walters Group as Chair. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Board and
Executive team in my prior stint with the Group and am looking forward to
getting started. The recruitment industry is so dynamic and fast-paced and to
be once again working with one of the standard bearers of the industry is a
real privilege."
