Robert Noel, Chair of the Board, said:

"I would like to express my and the Board's sincere thanks to Humphrey for his wise counsel and commitment during his nine years as a Non Executive Director and for his effective stewardship of shareholder interests, both during his long service as Chair of the Audit Committee and more recently as the Board's Senior Independent Director. The Board wishes him well for the future. I also congratulate Jitesh on his appointment as Senior Independent Director.

On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Martyn to the Board as an independent Non Executive Director. His deep knowledge of the building industry and particularly of manufacturing and supply chains, will add to, and deepen the Board's skill sets in these important areas."
