Appointment of Non-Executive Directors
WYG plc (WYG or the Group), the global programme, project
management and technical consultancy, today announces the
appointment of Jeremy Beeton and Neil Masom as Non-Executive
Directors of the Group with immediate effect.
Jeremy Beeton, CB, joins with more than 40 years' international
business experience including in Government, corporate, project
management, construction and facilities management. He is currently
a Non-Executive Director of SSE plc and John Laing Group plc prior
to which he spent five years (2007-2012) as Director General of the
UK Government Olympic Executive, where he was responsible for
supervising the delivery of the London Olympic Games. During that
time he was also on the Board of several Government departments,
including the Ministry of Justice, and undertook a number of major
project reviews for Government departments including the Treasury,
MOD and Department of Transport. Between 1999 and 2007, he was
Principal Vice President and Director of Bechtel Ltd with
responsibility for the management and delivery of Bechtel's
worldwide civil engineering projects in its infrastructure and
aviation business lines. Jeremy will be appointed Senior
Independent Non-executive Director and sit on the Audit & Risk,
Remuneration and Nominations Committees.
Neil Masom, OBE, brings 15 years of Board experience in
Executive and Non-Executive roles, having worked extensively at
senior levels in both commercial and public sector environments. In
particular, his more than 30 years' experience of working in
complex, politically sensitive and international organisations,
means that Neil brings a strong understanding of and network within
UK Government. He was appointed to the board of HS2 in September
2014 as Director and Audit Committee Chair, and also holds
Non-Executive Director roles at IFS AB, a quoted Swedish IT
software company; Solutions SK Ltd, a property management,
highways, environmental and support services company; and CQC
Holdings Ltd, a leading supplier of clothing and equipment to the
armed forces. He was formerly Non-Executive Chairman of FCO
Services, a Government Trading Fund which provides Property
Management, secure ICT and Logistics Services to the FCO and other
overseas government agencies. Neil's previous executive roles have
included some 30 years with BAE Systems (previously at British
Aerospace), culminating in the position of Managing Director,
Logistics and Information Systems. Neil will chair WYG's
Remuneration Committee and be appointed a member of the Audit &
Risk and Nominations Committees.
Commenting on the appointments, Mike McTighe, Non-Executive
Chairman of WYG, said:
"Having announced in June this year that we would be seeking
additional Non Executive Director talent with skill sets and
backgrounds that are closely aligned to WYG's markets, we are
delighted to welcome Jeremy and Neil to the Board. Their wealth of
experience at senior levels in the commercial and public sectors
will be of great benefit to WYG, as we continue to drive the Group
forward, and uphold our strong positions in our chosen territories
and markets."
