APPOINTMENT OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND FUTURE CHAIR OF THE
BOARD
Marshalls plc announces its intention to appoint Vanda Murray
OBE to the Board as Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Board.
This follows the announcement in October 2017 that Andrew Allner
would be stepping down as Chairman and would also retire as a
Non-Executive Director during 2018. Vanda's appointment as
Non-Executive Director will take effect following the close of the
Annual General Meeting of Marshalls plc on 9 May 2018, at which
time she will also replace Andrew as Chair.
Chief Executive Martyn Coffey commented: "We are delighted that
Vanda has accepted the invitation to join Marshalls plc, as Chair
of the Board and as a non-executive director. Vanda brings a wealth
of experience and a strong track record of leadership, and will be
a valuable addition to the Board.
I would also like to record our thanks to Andrew, who has
provided clear and consistent leadership, both as Chair of
Remuneration Committee and subsequently as Chairman of the Board,
over the past 15 years. His contribution to the business is greatly
appreciated."
Vanda Murray commented "I am very pleased to be joining
Marshalls plc, a company that is a market-leader with a great
performance record, recognised for its brand values, quality,
service and innovation. I look forward to working with my Board
colleagues at this exciting time for the business and continuing to
pursue Marshalls' successful growth strategy".
