Board and Committee Changes

Robert Walters plc ("the Company") (LSE: RWA), the global talent solutions
business, confirms that, further to its announcement on 18 December, Tanith
Dodge, its Senior Independent Director, has retired from the Board at the
Company's Annual General Meeting today.  The Board would like to express its
appreciation for Tanith's service over her nine years as a Non-Executive
Director.

As well as serving as the Company's Senior Independent Director, Tanith also
served on each of the Board's standing Committees, as Chair of its
Remuneration Committee and as Non-Executive Director with specific
responsibility for workforce engagement. In addition, in 2022, Tanith served
as Chair of the Company on an interim basis, leading the recruitment of the
current Chair.

Following Tanith's retirement from the Board, continuing Non-Executive
Directors have been appointed to her roles. Matt Ashley has been appointed as
Senior Independent Director, Michaela Tod as Remuneration Committee Chair, and
Jane Hesmondhalgh as Non-Executive Director with specific responsibility for
workforce engagement. Each will continue to serve on the Audit & Risk,
Nominations and Remuneration Committees to which Andrew Rashbass has now also
been appointed as a member.

Leslie Van de Walle, Chair commented:

'Tanith's commitment, service and contributions to the Company over the past
nine years have been invaluable. We have benefitted greatly from Tanith's
input and counsel at Board, Committee and management levels. Her knowledge,
expertise and experience of people-related matters in particular have been key
as the Company has navigated challenges, driven business change and developed
its long-term strategy to deliver accelerated, sustained, profitable growth.
Tanith retires from the Board with our deep appreciation and best wishes for
the future.

'I would also like to thank Matt Ashley, Michaela Tod, and Jane Hesmondhalgh
respectively for stepping into the roles of Senior Independent Director,
Remuneration Committee Chair, and Non-Executive Director with specific
responsibility for workforce engagement, roles which I know they will ably
fulfill.

Tanith Dodge, retiring Senior Independent Director, commented:

'I have thoroughly enjoyed my nine years at the Company helping it address the
challenges and capitalise on the opportunities that have arisen over that
period. It's a great company with the best people in the industry taking
forward its strategy of disciplined entrepreneurialism to take advantage of
the opportunities ahead. I wish Toby, the Board and all the management and
employees at Robert Walters every success for the future.'
