Chairman to step down at Clarksons
Philip Green has decided to step down as chairman of Clarksons
in order to focus on his other responsibilities. His resignation
from the board will take effect from the AGM on 9 May. Bob Benton,
chairman until last year, will remain a non- executive board member
and assume the role of interim Chairman with effect from the next
Board meeting on 6 March 2014.
Since Philip's appointment early last year he has taken on a
number of new roles including chairman-designate of Williams &
Glyn, steering its IPO process, and chairman designate of Carillion
plc. In light of these and other commitments he and the Board
recognise that it would be difficult for him to devote sufficient
time to Clarksons' growing international shipping services
business. He is also standing down as a director of Business in the
Community.
Peter Backhouse, Clarksons' senior independent director, will
lead the search process for a new chairman.
Philip Green commented: "It has been a privilege to chair
Clarksons; it is a world class market-leading business with a very
strong management team; however, at this time I recognise the need
to focus my responsibilities and therefore, with much regret, I
feel it is right to stand down."
Andi Case, Clarksons' CEO commented: "Both personally and on
behalf of the Board, I thank Philip for his valuable contribution
over the past year and wish him well with his new endeavours"
