Stuart Green, Chief Executive commented, "We are delighted to be
welcoming Gillian as Chairman of the Board. Following a detailed
search process, Gillian's relentless focus on business performance,
growth and her track record of commercial business successes,
coupled with excellent corporate governance skills, was central to
the Board's selection decision. We are confident that Gillian will
be a valuable asset and counsel to the Group as we continue the
execution of our growth strategy.
"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Roger for his
considerable service to the Group, during which time the Group

well in his future endeavours."
