Board and Management Changes

 

Walker Crips Group PLC is pleased to announce a number of changes to the
composition of its Board of Directors (the "Board") and executive leadership
team as part of a strategic reorganisation to support the Company's growth and
operational resilience.

 

As previously announced, Jo Welman was appointed as Non-Executive Chair on 31
March 2025, and Linus Lim and Mark Nelligan joined the Board as Non-Executive
Directors on 6 February and 25 April 2025 respectively.

 

Following a comprehensive review of the Company's senior leadership structure,
the Company will implement a joint leadership model with the appointment of
two Joint Chief Executive Officers. Both appointments will be Executive
Directors of the Company and members of the Board.

 

Christian Dougal, currently Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, will be
appointed Joint CEO, responsible for the Company's administrative functions,
including Finance, HR, Risk & Compliance, and IT Support. Christian joined
the Company in July 2024, and his leadership has been instrumental in
addressing the Company's regulatory priorities.

 

Sean Lam, who currently serves as CEO, will assume the title of Joint CEO and
will continue to oversee the Company's commercial operations. He will retain
his role as CEO of Walker Crips Investment Management ("WCIM").

 

 

Walker Crips confirms that there are no details that require disclosure under
UK Listing Rule 6.4.8R in respect of Christian Dougal.

 

Jo Welman, Chair of Walker Crips, commented:

 

"These changes mark a critical step in building a leadership platform that
reflects the scale and ambition of our strategy. Christian brings operational
discipline and regulatory depth, while Sean's commercial instincts and
leadership continuity will be invaluable as we pursue our growth objectives. I
would also like to thank the entire leadership team for their commitment to
positioning the Company for long-term success."
