Neil Wood MBE joins Board of PVG plc as independent
Non-Executive Director
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES
OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014.
London, UK, 29 August 2018 (LSE: PVG): PVG is pleased to
announce that Neil Wood MBE has accepted the appointment of
independent Non-Executive Director of PVG with effect from 3
September 2018. He will also takeover Chairmanship of the Audit
Committee and be a member of the Remuneration and Nomination
Committee.
Neil, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, has
over 30 years' experience advising boards across a variety of
industries. Neil began his career with Arthur Andersen, became a
partner in 2000 and spent 17 years as an audit partner and then
management consulting partner in Deloitte LLP serving clients
across the globe. Neil was part of London's bid for the 2012
Olympics as its Chief Financial Officer and received the award of
an MBE in recognition of his contribution in securing the Olympics
for London. He went on to be appointed as Chief Financial Officer
and Executive Board Member of the London Organising Committee of
the Olympic and Paralympic Games ("LOCOG").
Following the dissolution of LOCOG, Neil was CFO of the British
Business Bank, preparing the bank for its launch later that year
and has advised clients across the World on bidding for and
delivering major complex programmes including the Tokyo 2020, Paris
2024 and Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games and the Lima 2019 Pan
American Games.
Since retiring from Deloitte in 2017 Neil has established his
own consulting business advising clients on the governance and
delivery of complex programmes. He also holds a number of
charitable board positions where he sits on or chairs the Risk and
Audit Committee.
Graham Dick, Non-Executive Chairman and Director of PVG,
added:
"I could not be more pleased that our business can attract
someone with Neil's track record. He joins us at a very exciting
stage in our development and with his international experience and
expertise in finance and corporate strategy he will no doubt make a
significant contribution in furthering our international growth
ambitions."
The Board will continue to consider the balance and composition
of the Board and, in particular, whether an additional independent
non-executive director is required given the current size of the
business. In order to support decision making, Rajan Uppal will
continue to be a member of the Audit, Remuneration and Nomination
Committees as advised in the Company's 2017 Annual Report.
There are no further disclosures required under LR 9.6.13.

Note to Editors:
PVG's services to third party veterinary practices, through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Vet Alliance Limited ("PVA"),
include the administration and support of a preventative healthcare
programme for pets branded "Premier Pet Care Plan" ("PPCP"). In the
US, where veterinary practices are known as veterinary hospitals,
PPCP is marketed through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
Premier Vet Alliance (US) Limited.
PPCP is a structured, preventative healthcare programme for
cats, dogs and rabbits and is available only through veterinary
practices/hospitals. The programme is seen as a way of providing
gold standard care for pets at an affordable price for the client,
by way of fixed monthly payments.
PPCP uses a clinical approach to prevention, as this is the most
effective method of ensuring illnesses are diagnosed more quickly
and not given a chance to advance. What truly sets PPCP apart is
its unique approach of offering an end-to-end solution and support
to the practice/hospital, which has been proven to work extremely
well. PVA works alongside practices/hospitals to create a
tailor-made, cost-effective service for clients, one that delivers
excellent care to their patients and significantly improves
practice/hospital performance.
