Travis Perkins Announces Directorate Change

After nearly nine years as a Non-executive Director, Coline McConville will relinquish her role as Chair of the Remuneration Committee on 1 December 2023 and subsequently step down from the Company’s Board (“Board”) on 31 December 2023. 

Coline’s departure from the Board at the end of the year and Pete Redfern’s departure at the close of the Board’s meeting on 19 September this year, necessitate some changes to the membership of the Board’s Committees and other responsibilities amongst the Company’s Non-executive Directors.  At its meeting earlier today, the Board resolved the following:

With immediate effect Louise Hardy assumes the role of designated workforce engagement Non-executive Director, succeeding Pete Redfern.

Jez Maiden is appointed as a member of the Audit Committee and the Nominations Committee with effect from the close of the Board’s meeting on 19 September 2023.

Marianne Culver is appointed as a member of the Stay Safe Committee with effect from the close of the Board’s meeting on 19 September 2023. 

Louise Hardy is appointed Chair of the Remuneration Committee with effect from 1 December 2023, succeeding Coline McConville.

Heath Drewett is appointed as a member of the Remuneration Committee with effect from 1 January 2024. 

Jora Gill is appointed as a member of the Audit Committee with effect from 1 January 2024.

Jasmine Whitbread, Chair of Travis Perkins commented: 

“On behalf of the Board and all at Travis Perkins, I would like to thank Coline for her diligent and valued service.  Coline has ably chaired the Remuneration Committee since 2015 steering the Company through several iterations of its Directors’ Remuneration Policy and successfully stewarding the introduction of a restricted share plan in 2021 to replace the Company’s previous long term incentive plans.  We wish her every success in all her continuing and future endeavours. 

Our ability seamlessly to manage Pete Redfern and Coline McConville’s departures from the Board is testament to the careful planning undertaken by the Nominations Committee and I would like to thank the members of that Committee for their diligent work.”
