DIRECTORATE CHANGE
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Cohort, the independent technology group, is pleased to announce
the appointment of Beatrice Mary Nicholas as a non-executive
director, with effect from 1 September 2021. Beatrice will also
become a member of the Audit and Remuneration Committees.
Beatrice has had a distinguished career in defence engineering
and research. Most recently she was Director of Engineering for the
Airborne and Space division of Leonardo UK Limited, with
responsibility for the execution of all engineering projects within
the division.
She started her career at the GEC Hirst Research Centre in 1984,
moving to GEC Marconi Avionics in 1995, where she held several
senior management positions. As part of the wider consolidation in
the sector, GEC Marconi Avionics became part of BAE Systems in 1999
and then Selex Galileo Limited in 2012, subsequently part of the
Leonardo Group.
In 2010 she was appointed Senior Vice President with
responsibility for leading the electronic warfare business. In 2012
she was appointed Group Engineering Director, with responsibility
for 2,500 engineering staff in UK, Italy, the US and the Middle
East, delivering projects in the defence and space sectors.
Following her retirement from Leonardo UK Limited in 2017 she
established an independent consultancy, Beatrice Nicolas Consulting
Limited, advising on diversity and inclusion.
Nick Prest, Chairman of Cohort said:
"We are pleased to welcome Beatrice to Cohort's board and look
forward to her contribution. She brings a wealth of experience in
senior roles in the defence industry, much of it in products and
technologies closely aligned to Cohort and encompassing both UK and
international businesses. This will be a significant benefit to the
Group, given that we now have six standalone businesses based in
three countries with a mix of cultures."
Beatrice Mary Nicholas (n é e Andrews) , 61, is a director of
Beatrice Nicholas Consulting Limited. Other than as set out in this
announcement, there are no further disclosures required under
Schedule Two, paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules for Companies.
