Appointment of new Chairman

Following on from the announcement made on 27 July 2021, Simon Howard is now Chairman of Ince Group plc as of the conclusion of the AGM today.

Simon joined the Group as a NED in 2017, working closely with outgoing Chairman, David Furst and CEO, Adrian Biles.

Adrian Biles, Chief Executive of Ince Group plc said: "Simon brings a robust track record of leading and building professional services businesses. He has a unique and objective perspective that will support our firm to reach its next stage of growth. I and the Board look forward to continuing to work closely with him in this new capacity."

Simon Howard said, "Firstly, I would like to thank the outgoing Chairman David Furst who took over during a challenging time and steered the group to a period of significant growth.

"Today marks the start of a new era for Ince Group and I am pleased to be appointed as Chairman. We have strengthened our Board with the appointment of two new highly qualified and experienced NEDs, Carol Ashton and Lawrence Milsted. Our corporate team will also be strengthened through the appointment of BDO as our auditors and Investec as our lenders.

"As the legal market continues to consolidate, our strength internationally means that we will be able to capitalise on that consolidation. We will focus on innovating in our traditional markets as well exploring opportunities to broaden our professional service offering through potential acquisitions of teams, legal firms and complementary businesses.

"As far as current activity is concerned, we are pleased to report that so far in the first half of this financial year we have continued to build on the momentum from last year and have begun FY22 in line with the Board's expectations.

"Activity in our international offices continues to grow and in the UK business levels and new instructions are increasing as we return to the office and as international travel restrictions ease. The recent and imminent easing of restrictions also position us well for a sustained increase in activity across the second half of this year.

"The pandemic and its after-effects mean that we will continue to face challenges in all our markets, but we are in a position of strength to tackle those challenges and continue the growth of the Group."

The Group will report its half year results in early December 2021.
