Halma appoints Dame Louise Makin as its next Chair
Halma, the FTSE 100 global group of life-saving technology
companies, today announces the appointment of Dame Louise Makin as
its next Chair.
Louise is joining the Board today as an independent
Non-Executive Director and Chair Designate. She will join the
Nomination and Remuneration committees. Louise will replace Paul
Walker as Chair in July 2021, when he steps down from the Board
after eight years in that role, as previously announced.
Louise has a distinguished career in business as a chief
executive and board director, working across multiple sectors.
For 15 years Louise was Chief Executive Officer of BTG plc, the
international specialist healthcare company. Louise led the
transformation of the company through a combination of organic
growth and acquisitions, during which its market capitalisation
increased from $150m to $4.2bn, before its sale to Boston
Scientific in 2019.
Louise has broad experience as a board member. She is currently
a Non-Executive Director of Theramex Ltd, a pharmaceutical company,
Atotech Ltd, a specialty chemicals company, and of Intertek Group
plc, the FTSE 100 testing and certification group; a position she
will step down from in June 2021. She has previously served as a
Non-Executive Director of Premier Foods plc and Woodford Patient
Capital Trust plc, and as a director of several not-for-profit
organisations.
Louise said: "I am delighted to be joining Halma as Chair. Halma
is driven by its strong purpose - to grow a safer, cleaner,
healthier future for everyone, every day. This couldn't be more
relevant to the world we are living in today and I look forward to
working with Andrew Williams and the rest of the Halma Board to
deliver on this."
Andrew Williams, Halma Group Chief Executive, said: "I look
forward to working with Louise as Halma's next Chair. She brings
tremendous experience and is an excellent cultural fit with Halma
and its purpose. She will build on Paul's eight years as Chair and
will maintain Halma's track record of stable, long term
leadership."
There are no further details to be disclosed for Dame Louise
Makin under Listing Rule 9.6.13 R.
