Nomination Committee report
A busy year for the Committee, overseeing Andrea Montague taking over as CEO and Katherine Jones’ appointment as CFO.”
Maarten Slendebroek Nomination Committee Chair
Role and responsibilities As Chair of the Nomination Committee since my appointment on 27 November 2023, I am pleased to present the Committee’s report for the year ended 30 June 2025. The Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing the composition of the Board and the Board Committees to ensure they are suitably constituted, with an appropriate balance of skills, experience, knowledge and diversity. This includes conducting the annual Board effectiveness review. The Committee also recommends Board and Board Committee appointments and monitors succession planning at the Group’s leadership levels to ensure the Group’s continued ability to implement its strategy and operate effectively. The Committee is also responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board any material changes to the structure, size and composition of the Group’s regulated subsidiary company boards. The full responsibilities of the Committee are set out in the Committee’s Terms of Reference, which are reviewed annually and are available on the Group’s website.
Composition and meetings The Committee comprises Maarten Slendebroek (Chair), John Linwood, Dagmar Kershaw, Robert Burgess and James Rawlingson. Only members of the Committee may vote on Committee business, but other members of the Board and the Chief People Officer may attend all, or part, of a meeting by invitation. The attendance of each Committee member during the year is shown on page 70. Main activities during the year During the course of the last year, the Company saw the incumbent CEO and CFO both change. In last year’s Nomination Committee report we reported on how Andrew Shepherd would be retiring as CEO with effect from 30 September 2024 and that Andrea Montague, then CFO, would take his place as CEO. Andrea’s promotion created a vacancy for a CFO and, following a rigorous recruitment process, we were delighted to announce the appointment of Katherine Jones as CFO with effect from 1 November 2024.
