in his career he spent 13 years at Experian plc, culminating as regional CFO
for the Asia-Pacific and India division, having previously qualified as a
chartered accountant at PwC.

Stephen Lamb, incoming CFO, commented:

"I am excited to be joining RWS at such a pivotal time for the business. With
a new vision and growth strategy defined, I look forward to working with Ben
and the rest of the executive team to help shape and implement the plans that
will deliver the strategy."
