Philip Shelley has advised the Board that after nearly three
years at WH Ireland, and leaving the Company in a strong and stable

leaves the business under the stewardship of Phillip Wale as CEO
and a strong senior management team following the new appointments
of Simon Jackson, as CFO; Michael Bishop, as new head of Wealth
Management and Fraser Marshall, as the head of Capital Markets.
Commenting, Philip Shelley stated "It has been a pleasure to
Chair the Group and to contribute to its turnaround and
transformation. During this time, we have achieved stability and
improved performance, developed a focused growth strategy and
appointed an experienced and strengthened Board and senior
executive team capable of implementing it."
Commenting, Phillip Wale, Chief Executive Officer, said "I would
like to thank Phil on behalf of the Board for his help and guidance
to myself and the executive team. His focus and energy has assisted
us to materially advance the turnaround of WH Ireland and ensure a
clear focus on its core strengths. He has been an excellent Chair
and we wish him every success in his continuing portfolio
career."
As a result of this change, the Board is pleased to announce
that Simon Lough who has served as a Non-Executive Director of the
Company since 2019 has agreed to assume the duties of acting
Non-Executive Chairman (a position which is subject to the approval
of the FCA) with immediate effect.
