Law Debenture is pleased to announce that Trish Houston has been
appointed as Chief Operating Officer ("COO") and to the Board of
the Company as an Executive Director effective from 2 September
2020.
Trish is a Chartered Accountant and brings almost 20 years'
experience in Financial Services and high-growth businesses. Most
recently, she was a member of the senior management team at JDX
Consulting Limited, where she had Executive responsibility for HR,
IT and Facilities and oversaw the merger of three businesses.
Previously, Trish was COO of Logical Glue Limited, a disruptive
Machine Learning predictive analytics SAS platform, and co-founded
the technology company Scaled Networks. She began her career at
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP before moving to Ruffer LLP where Trish
held several senior roles including Partner, Global Head of HR and
Global Head of Risk. There is no information required to be
disclosed by Trish in accordance with section 9.6.13 of the Listing

As previously announced, Hester Scotton will assume the role of
Chief Financial Officer following the departure of Katie Thorpe on
September 11(th) while Kelly Stobbs was recently promoted to
General Counsel.
Hester has a strong track record across multiple finance
disciplines and industries including experience at Legal &
General, Bupa and Mark & Spencer. Since joining Law Debenture
in 2019 as Head of Internal Controls & Group MLRO, Hester has
worked closely with Katie and the Independent Professional Services
("IPS") Business Heads to reduce operational and financial risk and
drive business growth.
Kelly brings a wealth of experience within legal and compliance
gained during her tenure at HSBC and Herbert Smith Freehills. She
joined Law Debenture from Deloitte where she acted as a Director
within the firm's Legal and Tax practice.
Denis Jackson, CEO of Law Debenture, commented :
"We look forward to welcoming Trish to Law Debenture. Her
insight and experience will be of great value. Trish's appointment
and the promotions of Hester and Kelly mark an important step
forward for the Company and the executive team as we continue to
invest to support our ambitious growth plans. The strengthened team
is well positioned to build on the strong growth seen in the last
few years. On behalf of Law Debenture, I would like to thank Katie
for her contribution and leadership. Her departure comes after
having made significant contributions to the Company's growth and
evolution.
We remain in the early stages of a re-invigorated growth cycle
and continue to see opportunities to grow revenue and earnings
significantly over time. IPS has very attractive financial
characteristics and we continue to invest in talent and technology
to take advantage of material growth opportunities."
