Chair retirement

Chair retirement

Halma plc announces that Paul Walker has indicated his intention to retire from his role as Chair of Halma plc, and step down from the Board by July 2021, to take up a new position externally. When he steps down, Paul will have served as Chair for eight years and as a non-executive director for over eight years. His retirement aligns with the board succession plan and the UK Corporate Governance Code requirement that a chair should not remain in post beyond nine years from their first appointment to the board.

The Nomination Committee has established a process, led by Tony Rice, Senior Independent Director, to identify and appoint a new Chair as his successor, which will be announced in due course.
