Royal Mail Announces the Appointment of Non-Executive
Directors
In accordance with the announcement it made on 22 March 2019,
Royal Mail Plc (the Company) confirms that Keith Williams has today
taken over as Chair of the Company, replacing Les Owen. Les has
stepped down from the Board after 9 years' service.
The Company is also pleased to announce that Maria da Cunha and
Michael Findlay have been appointed as Non-Executive directors of
the Company with effect from today.
Maria is a former senior executive with British Airways where
she worked for 18 years until 2018. Maria's roles included Director
of People and Legal, and before that, Head of Legal and Government
and Industry Affairs. At her time at BA, Maria had extensive
experience in colleague engagement, transformation and industrial
relations. Maria da Cunha is a non-executive director of De La Rue
Plc.
Michael is the current Chair of Morgan Sindall Group Plc.
Michael spent 27 years in the investment banking industry and
worked for firms including Robert Fleming & Co, UBS and, most
recently, Bank of America Merrill Lynch. He retired from Bank of
America Merrill Lynch in 2016 where he was Co-Head of Investment
Banking for the UK and Ireland, having previously been the Co-Head
of Corporate Broking EMEA. He is the former Senior Independent
Director of UK Mail Group PLC. where he was a Non-Executive
Director from 2009 until 2016
Keith Williams, who assumes the role of Chair of the Company
today, said:
"On behalf of the Board and colleagues at Royal Mail, I would
like to thank Les for his service and dedication to the Company
over the last 9 years, I would particularly like to thank him for
his guidance as Chair since his
appointment last September. We wish him well for the future."
I am delighted to welcome both Michael and Maria to the Board as
Non-Executive Directors. When Les was appointed Chair, it was with
a brief to refresh the Board. The appointment of Maria and Michael
is an important first step in that process. Maria has a proven
track record in employee engagement and transformation in a
unionised industry. Michael has extensive financial and strategic
experience in addition to his time at UK Mail Group PLC. I am
confident that they will both make significant contributions to,
and add value to, the Board's decisions in the delivery of its
strategy. In the meantime, the process of refreshing the Board
continues, with further announcements to be made in due course.
There are no other disclosures to be made under Listing Rule
9.6.13.
