Appointment of Non-Executive Director

Caledonia Investments plc ("Caledonia" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Guy Davison as an independent non-executive director with effect from 1 January 2018. He will also join the Audit and Nomination Committees of the Company.

After qualifying as a chartered accountant, Guy spent four years at Larpent Newton before joining Cinven, the leading international private equity firm, in 1988 as a founding partner, remaining with the firm until his retirement in January 2017. During that time, he was central to the development and expansion of the business from the time of its buy-out from British Coal in 1995 to one which today employs around 120 staff in offices in Guernsey, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, Milan Luxembourg, Hong Kong and New York.

During his 29 years at Cinven, Guy held numerous board positions, representing Cinven as chairman or non-executive director at some 25 of its portfolio companies, including Ahlsell, the Nordic region's leading trading company in installation products and tools and machinery, Maxeda, the largest DIY retailer in the Benelux countries, Gala Coral, the UK gaming business, and William Hill, the UK betting chain.

Commenting on the appointment, David Stewart, Caledonia's Chairman, commented:

"We are delighted that Guy Davison has agreed to join Caledonia's board. His knowledge of private equity investing, both in the UK and in Europe, and his broader commercial acumen gained from over 30 years' experience in the industry, will be of great benefit to Caledonia, particularly in relation to our own unquoted portfolio."

There are no details to be disclosed in relation to Guy Davison under Listing Rule 9.6.13R.
