Changes to the Board of Directors
Following our announcement on 28 June 2017, Dignity announces
that its Operations Director, Andrew Davies will retire from the
Board of Dignity plc with effect from 5 January 2018 and will cease
to be an employee of Dignity plc with effect from 27 April
2018.
As previously advised, Andrew will continue to be connected with
the Group, after his retirement, assisting with the funeral home
acquisition programme but will not have any operational involvement
in the funeral division nor will he be a director of any company
within the wider Dignity Group. His successor, an internal
appointment who will not be a Director of Dignity, is already in
post as Director of Funeral Operations.
Alan McWalter the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director and
Chair of the Remuneration Committee is also retiring from the Board
of Dignity plc with effect from 31 January 2018 after nine years
service with the Group. He will not be replaced as, given the
retirement of Andrew Davies, the Group will still retain an equal
number of Executive and Non-Executive Directors.
Peter Hindley, Chairman of Dignity, commented: "Alan has made a
very valuable contribution over the nine years he has been with
Dignity, both as a Non-Executive Director and latterly as both our
Senior Independent Director and the Chair of our Remuneration
Committee. I would like to put on record my appreciation of his
hard work and dedication over what has been a very successful
period for Dignity."
At the time of Alan McWalter's retirement David Blackwood will
be appointed as Dignity's Senior Independent Non-Executive Director
and Mary McNamara will become the Chair of the Remuneration
Committee.
