the very significant contribution he has made to Rotork over the past 21 years
and to personally thank him for the support he has given me in my time as CEO.
On behalf of the Board and all our colleagues we wish Jonathan all the very
best in his retirement. I am delighted that we have appointed Ben as CFO. Ben
brings with him industry knowledge as well as a strong track record of finance
expertise within complex businesses. I am confident he will make a strong
contribution to the senior management team and to the business. I look forward
to working with him to deliver our Growth+ strategy."

 

Ben Peacock said: "The clear purpose and strategy at Rotork is an exciting
journey that I am delighted to become part of. I have spent my most recent
career in industrial and flow control sectors, including the last 9 years at
The Weir Group PLC. I look forward to working with Kiet and the team to drive
and deliver Rotork's Growth+ strategy".

for the last 21 years and I would like to thank all my colleagues and friends
throughout that time for their dedication and support. I am extremely proud of
all that we have achieved over these years and believe that the Company is
well placed under Kiet's leadership to deliver the Growth+ strategy. I wish
