("Wilmington" or the "Group")

Board Change

 

Wilmington plc, the provider of information, education and networking services
in Risk & Compliance, Healthcare and Professional knowledge areas, is
pleased to announce the appointment to the Board from 5 November 2020 of Guy
Millward as Chief Financial Officer Designate.

 

Richard Amos, the current Chief Financial Officer, informed the Board of his
desire to move away from a full-time executive role once a suitable successor
had been found. He will resign from the Board and leave the Company on 10
December 2020 at which time Guy Millward will formally become Chief Financial
Officer and Company Secretary. Guy will be joining Wilmington on 5 November
and will be working closely with Richard and the rest of the senior executive
team to ensure a smooth transition before Richard's departure in December.

 

Guy brings a wealth of experience to Wilmington following nearly twenty years
as a listed company Finance Director and CFO working predominantly with
technology companies including Kewill plc, Advanced Computer Software Group
plc, Imagination Technologies Group plc and most recently Quixant plc.  He
qualified as a Chartered Accountant with EY.  He is currently a Non-Executive
Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee of Eckoh plc.

 

The Board looks forward to updating shareholders on current trading at the
time of its Annual General Meeting on 4 November 2020.

 

Martin Morgan, Chairman, commented:

 

"We are very grateful to Richard for his contribution to Wilmington over the
last three years and, in particular, for the leadership he has shown in
navigating the Group through the challenges presented by the current global
pandemic.  We wish him well in his future career.

 

I am delighted to welcome Guy to Wilmington.  His proven track record of
success as a CFO of public companies and the experience that he brings from
the technology sector will be hugely valuable to the Group as we continue to
grow the business and execute on our digitisation strategy."

 

Mark Milner, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

"I would like to add my own thanks to Richard for his commitment to Wilmington
and for his support in my first year as CEO, including his active role in the
appointment of his successor. I wish him the very best as he embarks on his
next ventures.

 

I am very much looking forward to having Guy as part of my executive team as
we continue with the delivery of our strategy of focussing on generating
organic growth in all parts of Wilmington."
