Board and Board Committee changes

 

Taylor Wimpey announces that Angela Knight and Gwyn Burr will be retiring from
the Board of Directors on 26 April 2022 in light of upcoming changes to their
commitments on other Boards:

 

Angela Knight CBE

 

Following her appointment as Chair of Pool Re and the recent extension of her
responsibilities as a Non Executive Director of Provident Financial Group Plc,
Angela Knight has notified the Board that she will not stand for re-election
at this year's Annual General Meeting (AGM) and will therefore step down from
the Board on 26 April 2022 at the conclusion of the AGM.  Angela has served
as an Independent Non Executive Director since November 2016.

 

Gwyn Burr

 

Gwyn Burr has notified the Board that she is taking a new Chair role of a
financial services business (to be separately announced in due course) and as
a result will not stand for re-election at this year's AGM.  Gwyn will
therefore step down from the Board on 26 April 2022 at the conclusion of the
AGM, having served as an Independent Non Executive Director since February
2018 and also as Chair of the Remuneration Committee and the Board's Employee
Champion.

 

The Board is pleased to confirm that Lord Jitesh Gadhia, who has been an
Independent Non Executive Director since March 2021, will assume the role of
Chair of the Remuneration Committee and Robert Noel, Senior Independent
Director, will join the Remuneration Committee and take on the role of the
Board's Employee Champion, following the conclusion of the AGM.  Jitesh has
extensive remuneration committee experience and serves as Chair of the
Remuneration Committee of Compare The Market Limited.

 

A search process for Angela and Gwyn's replacements is already underway to
ensure that the Board continues to hold the most appropriate balance of skills
and expertise.

 

Irene Dorner, Chairman, said:

 

"I would like to express my and the Board's sincere thanks to both Angela and
Gwyn for their long-serving and valued contributions to Taylor Wimpey.

 

Angela has given the Board much valued counsel across the business over the
last five years and has been an asset to both the Board and Taylor Wimpey.
Gwyn has provided an invaluable contribution, particularly in the important
areas of customer service and employee engagement, as well as being an
excellent Chair of our Remuneration Committee.

 

We wish both Angela and Gwyn all the best in the future."
