Appointment of Chair Designate and Non-Executive Director

Notice of Results

Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC (AIM: MBH), the specialist brick manufacturer, today announces that Martin Warner, Chair, has informed the Board that he will retire at the next AGM in May 2024. Martin will be succeeded by Tony Morris who is currently a Non-Executive Director. The Group also announces that Rob Fenwick will be joining the Company as Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.

Martin was appointed Chair in 2016, having been joint founder and Chief Executive Officer. He has overseen transformational growth over that period supporting the Group on its progressive journey to becoming a leading premium brick manufacturer and brick pre-fabrication specialist across the UK and Belgium.

Tony, who joined the Board in November 2020, brought a wealth of experience in M&A and equity capital markets to the Group, and over the last two and a half years with Michelmersh has added significant construction industry and clay manufacturing sector knowledge, alongside his role as Chair of the Remuneration Committee.

Robert Raymond Fenwick, aged 63, who joins the Board as a Non-Executive Director, has extensive operational experience, having spent 20 years with Howden Joinery Group plc. Rob was Chief Operating Officer of the supply division at Howdens for 14 years before spending a year as Chief Governance Officer. Rob is a Non-Executive Director of Andrew Marr International Ltd and Kronospan Holdings Ltd.

Martin Warner, commenting on the changes said :

"I am delighted with Tony's appointment as Chair Designate; his expertise and specific Michelmersh experience to date demonstrates that he has the capability and skills for the role. I have hugely enjoyed working with Tony over the last few years and my focus as I look to the 2024 AGM and my retirement is to ensure a smooth handover of duties.

"Michelmersh is a fantastic Company with great people and it has been an enormous privilege to see the business I jointly started grow to become Britain's Brick Specialist."

Tony Morris, Chair Designate commenting on the changes said :

"I am delighted to be appointed as Chair Designate and have thoroughly enjoyed the last few years on the Board as a Non-Executive Director. I would like to thank Martin for his tremendous support during my time with Michelmersh and I am focused on continuing his legacy to support the Group in delivering excellent products and service to our loyal and diverse customer base.

"I look forward to working with Peter and the rest of the Board, and in particular welcome Rob to the team as Non-Executive Director. Rob has extensive commercial and industry expertise, which will be a valuable addition to the Group and provide an appropriate balance to the Board as we look to the future."

Peter Sharp, Joint Chief Executive Officer said :

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Martin for his dedicated leadership over more than 25 years and his significant contribution to the growth of Michelmersh in making the Group the successful business it is today. We are essentially a people business and Martin has led with this core principle from the top of the organisation. On a personal note, I would like to thank Martin for his valued support and guidance over many years. I look forward to continuing working with Tony as we look to the future with confidence and the business being in a strong position to continue to deliver against our strategy."
