Directorate change
The Rank Group Plc ("Rank") announces the appointment of Alex
Thursby as a non-executive director with effect from 1 August 2017.
He will also chair Rank's audit committee with effect from the
conclusion of the annual general meeting on 19 October 2017 and
serve on its audit, remuneration and nominations committees with
effect from 1 August 2017.
Owen O'Donnell, currently chair of the audit committee, has
notified the board of his intention not to seek re-election at the
2017 annual general meeting and will therefore step down later this
year having completed nine years on the board.
Ian Burke, Rank's chairman, said "I am pleased to welcome Alex
to the Rank board. We look forward to working with him and
benefiting from his experience of developing new, and transforming
existing, businesses with the use of technology platforms. His
extensive experience in compliance and risk governance in a highly
regulated sector will also further strengthen our board. On behalf
of Rank I would like to thank Owen for his valuable contribution as
a director during his nine-year tenure on the board and his
excellent chairmanship of the audit committee over the last three
years."
