M.P. EVANS GROUP PLC ("MP EVANS" OR "THE GROUP")
Directorate Changes
The board of directors of MP Evans (the "Board") announces that
Derek Shaw, an independent non-executive director, is retiring from
the Board on 31 January 2017.
The Group was introduced to Mr Shaw in 1984 when it invested in
Colly Farms Cotton Limited, in which he and his family were
founding shareholders and responsible for its substantial
expansion. He was appointed a director of the Group's associate,
Lendu Holdings PLC, in 1990, and of MP Evans in 2005. He has helped
develop, expand and guide the Group's operations in the Australian
agricultural sector from the time of its investment in cotton, as
well as sheep and cereal farming, through to its substantial
holding of beef-cattle assets. He represented the Group on the
board of The North Australian Pastoral Company Pty Limited, helping
direct and improve this integrated cattle operator that was
successfully sold during 2016. During his tenure he provided
consistent advice on optimising values, and returns, on the Group's
Australian operations, including regular inspections of the
properties. The Board is most grateful to him for his substantial
contribution over many years.
The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Matthew
Coulson as finance director with effect from 1 February 2017. Mr
Coulson joined the Group as chief financial officer on 1 May 2016
with previous experience as an audit director of Deloitte LLP,
including work on companies in the agricultural sector, and in
their technical policy team.
