Marshalls plc announces its intention to appoint Vanda Murray OBE to the Board as Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Board. This follows the announcement in October 2017 that Andrew Allner would be stepping down as Chairman and would also retire as a Non-Executive Director during 2018. Vanda's appointment as Non-Executive Director will take effect following the close of the Annual General Meeting of Marshalls plc on 9 May 2018, at which time she will also replace Andrew as Chair.
Chief Executive Martyn Coffey commented: “We are delighted that Vanda has accepted the invitation to join Marshalls plc, as Chair of the Board and as a non-executive director. Vanda brings a wealth of experience and a strong track record of leadership, and will be a valuable addition to the Board.
I would also like to record our thanks to Andrew, who has provided clear and consistent leadership, both as Chair of Remuneration Committee and subsequently as Chairman of the Board, over the past 15 years. His contribution to the business is greatly appreciated.”
Vanda Murray commented “I am very pleased to be joining Marshalls plc, a company that is a market-leader with a great performance record, recognised for its brand values, quality, service and innovation. I look forward to working with my Board colleagues at this exciting time for the business and continuing to pursue Marshalls' successful growth strategy”.
