with immediate effect but will continue as Chair of the Audit & Risk
Committee to ensure a full and orderly transition until his departure next
year.

 

·    Gillian Kent is appointed as Non-Executive Director and succeeds
Colin Jones as Senior Independent Director, with immediate effect.  Gillian

Clive Whiley, Chairman, said: "I would like to thank Colin for ensuring a
smooth handover as Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee and I wish Aki
continued success in her future executive career. I am also delighted to
welcome Gillian to the Board.  In addition to her extensive non-executive
