CHRIS GIBSON-SMITH TO RETIRE AS CHAIR OF JUST GROUP plc
Just Group plc ("Just", the "Group") announces that Chris
Gibson-Smith has informed the Board of his intention to retire as
Chair of the Group as soon as a suitable successor has been
identified. A search will commence shortly, led by the Group's
Senior Independent Director, Keith Nicholson. In the meantime Chris

Chris was appointed Chair of the Group in April 2016. He had
previously served as Chair of Partnership Assurance Group plc from
May 2013.
Chris Gibson-Smith said:
"It has been an honour to chair Just Group since its creation.
Having overseen a transformational merger, navigated significant
regulatory change and overseen the appointment of a new team of
Executive Directors, now is the right time for me to move on. I
know that Just is in good hands and wish David and his team well as
they take the Group forwards."
David Richardson, Group Chief Executive, said:
"Working with Chris has been a privilege. He brought a wealth of
experience to the role drawn from a diverse range of sectors,
combined with a passion for the business and an astute commercial
brain. The entire Board benefitted from his insights and I have
valued his wise counsel. He has steered the Group through some very
challenging times and takes with him our best wishes for the
future."
