Resignation of Patrick Butcher
Capita plc ("Capita") today announces that Patrick Butcher has decided to step
down from his position as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Executive Director
to pursue other opportunities.
To ensure continuity and effective ongoing leadership, the Board has appointed
Gordon Boyd to take over as interim CFO and Executive Director.
Patrick steps down from the Board on 16 November 2020 and Gordon joins the
Board on the same date.
Patrick will assist Gordon in an orderly handover and will remain employed to
support Gordon and the company until the end of March 2021.
A process is now underway to identify and appoint a permanent successor as CFO;
a further announcement will be made in due course.
Jon Lewis, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"I want to thank Patrick for his commitment and support in the delivery of
significant improvements over the past two years, especially as we have
continued to navigate the challenges and uncertainties brought on by the
Covid-19 crisis. I and the rest of the senior leadership team wish him well as
he looks to fresh challenges.
"I am delighted that Gordon is joining us as interim Chief Financial Officer.
He brings significant experience of working in companies going through a period
of change. Gordon will play a crucial role in our ongoing transformation at
Capita."
Patrick Butcher said:
"It has been a privilege to be at the centre of an organisation which touches
the lives of millions of people every day by delivering essential services and
solutions. I wish Jon and the rest of the senior leadership team all the best
for the future."
Gordon Boyd said:
"I am excited to be joining Capita and very much looking forward to working
with Jon, his leadership team and the thousands of colleagues across the
company to help create a focused, sustainable business for the long term."
The Company's outlook is unchanged from that outlined in the Group trading
update of 10 November 2020.
There is no further information required to be disclosed relating to Gordon
Boyd pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.13.
Details of remuneration will be disclosed in Capita's Annual Report and
Accounts, when finalised, and available on Capita's website.
Announcement authorised for release by Francesca Todd, Group Company Secretary.
