Mr. Steel joined the Board in March 2014 and was appointed
Chairman in January 2016.
Tim has overseen a complete change of senior management with a
new CEO, CFO, Head of Wealth Management and Head of Compliance. He
has also overseen a significant change in the Board with Simon
Lough, Philip Shelley and Alistair Buchanan (subject to FCA

provide the relevant and current experience to help WH Ireland
achieve its real potential.

2010, having worked at WH Ireland for 8 years before that.
Richard will continue as a Senior Advisor to the company as it
develops its Wealth Management business.

challenging market conditions and will update the market at its
Interim Results in November.
Commenting on today's announcement, Tim said:
"Having overseen the implementation of the first phase of our
recovery plan and the recruitment of a new senior management team
and Board, it is time for a new Chairman to oversee the next stage
of WH Ireland's development. I wish the company every success for
the future."
Commenting on today's announcement, Richard said:
"After many years of working at WH Ireland, I am pleased to be
leaving the Board in good hands and I am delighted to be able to
continue to help as it continues to execute its recovery plan."
The Board has initiated a process to identify and appoint a
successor for Tim to ensure an orderly handover.
The Board wishes to record its great appreciation for Tim's
contribution to the Company over the past six years as well as to
Richard who has been such an important part of WH Ireland's
development.
