Danuta Gray, Chair, said: "I am delighted to be welcoming Adrian
Joseph to DLG's Board. A cornerstone of our strategy is to keep
improving the service we can provide to existing and new customers
through the effective management of data, digital interfaces and
automation. Adrian's experience in these areas will be extremely
valuable in strengthening the Board's ability to support our
executive team in delivering that strategic objective.
I would like to thank Jane for her energetic leadership of the
Board Risk Committee, which she has chaired since before DLG was
floated on the London Stock Exchange, and for her hard work as a
member of the Audit, Investment and Corporate Responsibility
Committees. Jane will leave us in May 2021 with the Board's, and
management's, enormous gratitude and respect."

has proven to be resilient in the extraordinary circumstances that
have arisen in 2020 and is well-placed to continue to thrive as
market dynamics evolve in future."
