Bruce Carnegie-Brown appointed Chairman

Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC ("Company") is pleased to announce that Bruce Carnegie-Brown will be appointed Chairman of the Board at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2014 ("AGM").

As previously announced, Gerald Corbett will stand down as Chairman and as a Non-Executive Director at the AGM.

Bruce joined the Company in April 2010 as an Independent Non-Executive Director and has chaired the Remuneration Committee of the Board since January 2013.

Michael Wemms, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, led the search for Gerald Corbett's successor.  He said:  "Bruce has a wealth of experience of financial services and online businesses and will make an excellent Chairman for MoneySupermarket.  We are profoundly grateful to Gerald for his wisdom and guidance over the last 7 years, during which time MoneySupermarket has achieved so much."

Bruce Carnegie-Brown added: "I look forward to leading the Board and working with Peter Plumb and his strong management team during the next phase of MoneySupermarket's growth, as we save more people more money."

Gerald Corbett said "It has been a great experience chairing MoneySupermarket through its flotation, the credit crunch and the strong growth in the business that the management team has delivered. Bruce is the ideal person to work with the management team on the next phase of the Company's development. I am confident of the Company's continuing success."
