Further to its announcement on 9 June 2015 regarding the

the Board as an independent Non-executive Director from 1 October

Accountant and a Fellow of the Association of Corporate
Treasurers.
He will take over as Chair of the Audit Committee from Ishbel
Macpherson and will also become a member of the Remuneration and
