Christopher Knight to retire as Chairman in March 2019
Alan Carruthers appointed to replace him
Brooks Macdonald Group plc (the "Group"), the AIM listed
investment management group, today announces the appointment of
Alan Thomas Carruthers (aged 56) as Chairman with effect from 14
March 2019, following the publication of the Group's Interim
Financial Report. He will succeed Christopher Knight, who will be
retiring as Chairman on that date.
Colin Harris, the Senior Independent Director who led the
process to appoint a successor to Mr. Knight, commented:
"The Group Board set strict criteria for choosing a new
Chairman, demanding a careful selection process giving due
consideration to a range of factors. We are therefore delighted
that Alan Carruthers has accepted our invitation to join the Board
and become Chairman in March. Alan has deep expertise in financial
services with over 25 years' experience in both executive and
non-executive director roles. He has been Chairman of Numis
Corporation plc since March 2017.
"On behalf of the Board I would like to place on record our
thanks to Chris Knight for the contribution he has made to the
development of Brooks Macdonald over his 17 years on the Board and
14 years as Chairman. He led the company through its initial public
offering in 2005, guided it through a period of rapid growth and,
more recently, oversaw the CEO transition from co-founder Chris
Macdonald to the current CEO, Caroline Connellan. I know Chris will
be pleased to be leaving Brooks Macdonald in a strong position for
the future."
Alan Carruthers, the incoming Chairman of the Group,
commented:
"It is an honour to succeed Chris Knight, whose 17 years of
service to Brooks Macdonald have seen the Group transformed. He
leaves a firm well-positioned in its market, with exceptional
adviser and client relationships driving a track record of
market-leading levels of growth. I look forward to working with my
new Board colleagues and the executive team led by Caroline
Connellan, and I am confident that we can continue the Group's
successful growth."
During the last five years immediately preceding the date of
this announcement, Mr Carruthers held the following
directorships:
-- Numis Corporation plc - directorship commenced March 2017
-- McLean Advisory Limited - directorship commenced February 2015, ceased April 2017
-- St Catherine's School Bramley - directorship commenced June 2014, ceased September 2017
-- Hydrodec Group plc - directorship commenced August 2012, ceased April 2016.
