Travis Perkins plc - Appointment of Wickes Chairman Designate
Travis Perkins plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Christopher
Rogers as Chairman Designate of Wickes.
Travis Perkins announced at its interim results in July 2019 the intention
to demerge the Wickes business. The Group updated on its positive progress
in December 2019 and the appointment of Chris as Chairman Designate
represents another milestone in the process, which is on track to be
completed in the second quarter of 2020. Good progress is being made on
completing the Wickes Board.
Chris is currently a Non-Executive Director of Travis Perkins plc and will
bring his extensive financial, operational and retail experience to the
Wickes business as it becomes an independent listed company.
It is intended that Chris will not stand for re-election as a Non-Executive
Director of Travis Perkins plc, stepping down following the Group's AGM on
28 April 2020.
