Change in Board Audit Committee Membership and an Additional Designated Non-executive Director for Employee Engagement

Quilter plc announces that Tazim Essani has been appointed as a member of the Board Audit Committee with effect from 1 September 2021.  Through her executive career, Tazim has gained in depth experience of interpretation, analysis and presentation of financial statements enabling her to contribute strongly to this Committee's deliberations.  

Tazim has also agreed to act as the second Quilter Non-executive Director designated for engagement with the Group's workforce, in line with the provisions of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code.  Tazim will have a particular focus on the further promotion of diversity and inclusion at Quilter.  Paul Matthews was nominated as the Non-executive Director with responsibility for engaging with Quilter's employees in May 2020.  Paul and Tazim will work together to ensure the voice of Quilter's employees is clearly heard in the Board room.

Tazim said, " I am looking forward to working with the members of the Quilter Board Audit Committee and to working alongside Paul Matthews, to support and promote engagement with Quilter's employees and further promoting and building on the diversity and inclusion of our people to benefit all our stakeholders."

Glyn Jones, Quilter Chairman, commented. "I am pleased that Tazim has agreed to take on these important additional roles.  Tazim's work with Quilter employees will provide welcome additional focus and support to the efforts of Paul Feeney, our CEO and Tosin James-Odukoya, our Head of Inclusion and Wellbeing, who are leading the work to promote a diverse and inclusive culture."
