Change in Director Responsibilities
Alistair Wannop is appointed Board representative for engagement
with the Group's 1,100 strong workforce
Carr's (CARR.L), the Agriculture and Engineering Group,
announces that, in line with the UK Corporate Governance Code,
Alistair Wannop, Non-Executive Director (NED), has been appointed
Board Representative for Employee Engagement. He will continue to
be a member of the Audit, Remuneration and Nominations
committees.
Prior to joining Carr's Group as a NED, Alistair chaired both
the County NFU and the Northern regional advisory panel for the
Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Alistair also served
on the Board of English Food and Farming Partnerships. The Board
believes that Alistair's extensive experience and knowledge of the
Group ideally places him in a position to ensure that the views of
the wider workforce are fully understood by the Board, and that
such views are considered as part of the Board's decision-making
process.
Chris Holmes, Chairman of Carr's Group, commented: "One of the
key pillars of the Group's overall strategic vision is to invest in
our people. Developing the key talent that will help to shape the
direction of the business over the next ten years is critical to
our ongoing success. Alistair's appointment formalises a practice
that we have been applying for a long time now - namely, ensuring
that our employees feel part of the Group, embrace its culture and
are able to support the Group as it continues to grow."
Alistair Wannop, Board Representative for Employee Engagement,
said: "I am delighted to be taking on this new role. Our employees
are front and centre to the long term success of the Group and it
is right and proper to be taking account of their interests at
Board level. Carr's has always prided itself on its close
engagement with its employees and I look forward to working on
their behalf to strengthen this through the creation of this
specific role."
