Directorship changes

Morgan Sindall Group plc (the 'Company') today announces that Steve Crummett, Finance Director, has informed the Board of his intention to retire from the Company on 31 December 2024.

The Board also announces that following a search process, Kelly Gangotra, currently Chief Financial Officer, Healthcare Sector at Halma plc and previously Chief Financial Officer of Skanska UK, has been selected to succeed Steve as Finance Director.

Kelly will be appointed as Finance Director and become a member of the Board on a date to be agreed, expected to be around the third quarter of 2024, when Steve will step down from both roles. This will then allow for a period of transition until Steve retires from the Company at the end of the year.

John Morgan, Group Chief Executive Officer said: "I'd like to thank Steve for his exceptional contribution to the Board over the last ten years.  Steve has seen the business through a period of significant growth and has helped shape our strategic direction and ensured that the financial stewardship of the business over the last 10 years has supported the Group's long term growth.

"I am delighted that Kelly will join the Group in 2024 and I look forward to working with her over the years ahead. She has an excellent track record as a CFO working in a decentralised business, is highly experienced in the construction and property industry and her valuable and significant skills and insight will support me and the Board as the Group continues to develop and grow." 

ENDS

A statement concerning particulars of remuneration payments in accordance with section 430(2B) of the Companies Act 2006 will be published in due course.
