i-documentsystems group plc ("IDOX")
Peter Lilley appointed director of IDOX
The Directors of i-documentsystems group plc ("IDOX"), the AIM quoted
e-government software and information provider, are pleased to announce that
the Rt. Hon. Peter Lilley MP is joining the Board as a Non-Executive Director
with immediate effect.
At the same time Ian Peacock, who has been a member of the Board since before
the Company's IPO in 2000, has announced his intention to stand down from the
Board immediately after the next Annual General Meeting. Mr Peacock's recent
assumption of the Chairmanship of Mothercare plc in addition to his
Chairmanship of MFI Furniture Group plc and Deputy Chairmanship of Lombard Risk
Management plc has led him to review his other business commitments.
Peter Bruce Lilley, 60, who is Member of Parliament for Hitchin and Harpenden,
held two major Cabinet positions in the last Conservative government. His
ministerial career began in 1987 when he became Economic Secretary to the
Treasury after serving as Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister of
Local Government and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He became Financial
Secretary to the Treasury in 1989 and joined the Cabinet as Secretary of State
for Trade and Industry from 1990-92, becoming Secretary of State for Social
Security from 1992-97. After the change of government in 1997, Mr Lilley was
Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and subsequently, until 1999, Deputy Leader
of the Conservative Party responsible for policy renewal.
Prior to obtaining his first ministerial post, Mr. Lilley was a Partner at
stockbroker W.Greenwell & Co. He later became a Director of Greenwell Montagu
Ltd.
Mr Lilley has held a number of Non-Executive appointments. In addition to his
role at IDOX, he is currently a Non-Executive Director of Flemings Claverhouse
Investment Trust and a Member of the Advisory Board of the School of Management
at the University of Southampton.
Commenting on the Board changes, and welcoming Mr Lilley as a Director, John
Wisbey, Chairman of IDOX, said:
"We are delighted to have the benefit of Peter's experience of such a broad
range of government in the U.K., much of which is highly relevant to the
Company as it seeks to achieve an increasingly strategic role with both local
and central government. This, together with his financial background,
represents a major asset to the Company.
I will be thanking Ian Peacock more fully for his considerable contribution to
IDOX nearer the time of his departure in late January 2003, but we are pleased
that he will continue to take an interest in the Company through his role at
Lombard Risk, the Company's largest shareholder and former parent company".
