Chief Financial Officer Appointment
The Rank Group Plc (LSE: RNK) ('Rank' or 'the Company') is
pleased to announce the appointment of William "Bill" Floydd as its
Chief Financial Officer ('CFO'). Bill will join the Company on 12
November 2018 and it is anticipated that he will be appointed to
the Board in due course.
Most recently, Bill was CFO at the FTSE 100 Experian plc's UK
and Ireland region, a position he held from 2013 until April 2018.
During his tenure, Bill helped deliver strong revenue and EBIT
growth in the region while overseeing the business' FCA
authorisation process. Bill was involved in numerous M&A
projects, including the acquisition of HD Decisions and the
investment in London & Country Mortgages.
Prior to Experian plc, Bill spent 12 years in a variety of
leadership positions at Logica plc, prior to its acquisition by CGI
Group Inc, including North American CFO, Group Financial
Controller, UK CFO and finally Deputy Group CFO. During his time at
Logica, Bill oversaw a number of projects, most notably leading a
turnaround of the UK business and a transformation of the global
finance function. After leaving CGI, Bill spent nine months as
Finance Director at Capita plc's IT Services division before being
approached to join Experian. Bill qualified as a chartered
accountant with PwC.
James Pizey, who stepped into the role of Interim CFO post Clive
Jennings' departure, will move to the role of Group Financial
Controller.
John O'Reilly, Chief Executive of The Rank Group Plc, said:
"I am pleased that Bill has agreed to join Rank at this exciting
time in the Company's journey. There is much to be done to deliver
our transformational programme and I am confident that Bill is the
right person to assist me and the leadership team in delivering a
growing business that is fit for the future.
"I would also like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the
Board, to thank James Pizey for stepping into the CFO role on an
interim basis whilst we conducted the search for a permanent
CFO."
