INFORMA GROUP PLC
MANAGEMENT REORGANISATION
The current Board of Directors of Informa Group plc was
established following the merger of IBC Group and LLP Group last
December. Initially the new Board, which was an amalgamation of
the two existing Boards, was established in order to facilitate
the merger and integration process. This work is now largely
complete and it is time to reorganise the Board to reflect our
new integrated structure.
We are now establishing a plc Board and an operating Board
structure. The plc Board will consist of Peter Rigby
(Chairman), David Gilbertson (Chief Executive), Jim Wilkinson
(Finance Director), Richard Hooper (Senior Non Executive
Director), Don de Groot (Non Executive Director) and Eric Barton
(Non Executive Director). Accordingly Rhona Wyles, Joop van
Lotringen, Stephen Warshaw, Peter Miller, John Haines, Stuart
Wallis and Lord William Rees Mogg will step down from the plc
Board with effect from today.
Stuart Wallis and Lord William Rees-Mogg respectively past
Chairman of LLP and IBC, who had agreed to stay on for a short
period following the merger, will leave the Group entirely. The
Group would like to wish Stuart Wallis and Lord William Rees-
Mogg well for the future and thank them for all their past
contributions.
The operating Board which is being established will consist of
the Chairman, Chief Executive, Finance Director, Rhona Wyles,
Joop van Lotringen, John Haines and Peter Miller. In addition
Lindsey Roberts, John Quilter and Ken Bohlin will join this
operating Board to represent the Group's publishing activities.
It will be the task of the operating Board to control day to day
business operations and oversee organic growth and acquisitions.
Stephen Warshaw is leaving the Group but will continue to advise
Informa as an external consultant.
This reorganisation will create a more streamlined and efficient
management structure for the Group. It also provides more
flexibility for wider involvement in the operational Board's
deliberations.
