SThree - Chair tenure extension
SThree plc, the global STEM workforce consultancy, announces that, after consultation with shareholders, the Board is extending James Bilefield's tenure as Chair for a seven-month period, until April 2027. This extension allows James, as Chair of the Nomination Committee, to conclude the search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer, before the Nomination Committee turns its focus to Chair succession.
James was appointed to the Board in October 2017, becoming Chair in April 2018. James' nine-year term will therefore conclude in September 2026. The Nomination Committee recommended to the Board a short, time-bound extension for James to remain as Chair until the conclusion of the Company's annual general meeting in April 2027.
Imogen Joss, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, commented:
"I am delighted that James has agreed to this short extension of tenure. He has been a strong independent director throughout his time at SThree and a valued source of support to the Executive Team. We are very grateful for his continued contribution and believe this extension is in the best interests of the Company."
