The non-executive director and chair of the compensation committee, Alan Stewart, has announced to the company that he plans to step down from the board effective after the company’s annual general meeting on May 2, 2024.
Mary Harris, Designated Non-Executive Director for Engagement with the Company’s Workforce and former Chair of the Company’s Remuneration Committee, will be reappointed as Chair of the Remuneration Committee from the end of this year’s AGM until the end of the Company’s 2025 AGM. This decision was made in order to ensure continuity and effective succession. This decision was made by the Nomination Committee and then by the entire Board. Despite having been a Non-Executive Director of the Company for nine years, the Board unanimously decided that Mary is in a unique position to take on this role during this interim period because of her background as a former chair of the remuneration committees of J Sainsbury plc, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield S.E., and the Company, as well as her extensive knowledge of the business and investor expectations.
By doing this, Fiona Dawson will be able to take on the position of Chair of the Remuneration Committee after the Company’s 2025 AGM, having previously served on the committee for a year.
After this year’s AGM, Elane Stock will take over as Mary’s Designated Non-Executive Director for Engagement with the Company’s Workforce.
