Chair Succession
Informa (LSE: INF.L), the Information Services, Advanced
Learning, B2B Exhibitions and Events Group today announced that the
Board, led by Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, Gareth
Bullock, and working in partnership with external advisors Spencer
Stuart, has confirmed the appointment of John Rishton as the next
Chair of the Informa Group, succeeding Derek Mapp.
Mr Rishton, who has extensive international executive

Serco, and his period as Chair of the Audit Committee and
Non-Executive Director at Informa.
He will take over as Chair at the Annual General Meeting in June
2021, allowing for a managed handover period.
In June, Gill Whitehead, who has served on Informa's Audit
Committee over the last year, will take over from John Rishton as
Chair of the Audit Committee.
Derek Mapp , Chairman, Informa PLC, said:
"The appointment of John Rishton as my successor follows an extensive
search process by the Nominations Committee. John was the outstanding
candidate on account of his significant Non-Executive and international
Executive experience, as well as his appreciation and understanding
of Informa's businesses and, importantly, its culture."
He added: "We have agreed a handover period that allows for the
completion of the year-end process and announcement of Informa's
2020 Full Year Results, after which I will hand over to John as
Chair of the Informa Group."
John Rishton , Chairman-Elect, Informa PLC, said:
"I am honoured to have been asked to succeed Derek Mapp as Chair
of Informa and I look forward to working with the Board, Stephen
and the Leadership Team to support the next stage of the Company's
development."
