  Celia has also been appointed as a member of the Nomination and Audit

Celia brings with her extensive experience at both executive and board level

in the field of human resources at Ford Motor Company, moving on to KPMG, Tate

role at Bunzl plc, from which she retired in 2016, Celia was Group Human
Resources Director from 2003, and a member of the Executive Committee

Celia is currently Non-Executive Director, Senior Independent Director and

Independent Director at Bekaert SA.

Appointment of Emmanuelle Dubu - Non-Executive Director

Emmanuelle Dubu has also been appointed as a member of the Nomination,

Emmanuelle retired from her executive career in 2024, during which she gained
over 30 years of experience in international engineering and manufacturing
businesses. She was Executive Vice President and CEO of Sercel from 2020 until
2024, an international business specialising in developing cutting-edge,
high-quality sensors and digital solutions for oil exploration, structural
health monitoring and energy transition applications, with over 1,400
employees and several manufacturing sites across Europe, the US and Asia.
 Sercel is a subsidiary of Viridien, a Euronext-listed technology company
based in France.

Prior to this, she was the President of US and Canada at Dura-Line, a

business leadership positions at Tyco, Pentair and Saint-Gobain.

"I am delighted to welcome both Celia and Emmanuelle to the Board as
Independent Non-Executive Directors.

Celia's significant experience in the area of executive remuneration and her
broader understanding of industrial businesses that have grown by acquisition
will provide a strong contribution to Board discussions and support the
Board's development of our people and remuneration strategy across the global
business.

Emmanuelle's strong international background and extensive experience in the
manufacturing industry will bring a rich and valuable input to Board

geographically diverse range of markets."
