Retirement of Non-Executive Director

The Board of Grafton Group plc has been advised by Anthony Collins, non-executive director and deputy chairman, of his intention to retire from the Board and not to offer himself for re-election at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Group.  

On behalf of the Board, Michael Chadwick, Chairman, paid tribute to Mr. Collins for his service to the Group.  

"Anthony has given long and distinguished service to the Board.  His sound business judgement has been particularly beneficial in the strategic development of the Group, especially in relation to transactions with other public companies.  He has actively participated on the Board as Senior Independent Director, in addition to Committee roles, including his Chairmanship of the Nomination Committee.  Anthony's wise counsel and balanced good humour have been supportive in facing both the challenges of growth and the pressures of rapidly declining markets.  On behalf of the Board, and personally, I thank Anthony for his distinguished service and offer him our best wishes for the future."
