Change
Following the conclusion of an extensive and comprehensive
independent search process, the Company is pleased to announce the
appointment of Ian Filby as non-executive chairman of Pendragon
PLC. Ian's appointment will formally commence on 01 November 2021.
In addition to his duties as non-executive chairman, Ian will also
chair the Company's Nomination Committee and serve on the Company's
Remuneration Committee. Simultaneously with the commencement of Mr
Filby's appointment, Chief Executive Officer Bill Berman will
relinquish the role of executive chairman, which he has held on an
interim basis since September 2019.
Ian joins Pendragon following a 40 year career in retail, a
large proportion of which was spent with Alliance Boots. In his
last executive role, Ian was the chief executive officer of
furniture retailer DFS, which significantly increased its market
leadership in both online and in physical stores during his tenure.
Currently, Ian is the non-executive chairman of Joules PLC, the
premium lifestyle brand.
Commenting on his appointment, Ian Filby, incoming non-executive
chairman said:
"I am hugely excited to have the opportunity to chair Pendragon
PLC, particularly as the strategy launched in September 2020 begins
to have a significant impact on the Company's growth and prospects
as it is implemented. I believe that my extensive retail experience
will be of significant benefit to the Company and the Board as I
work with the leadership team to lead Pendragon through the next
stage of its development".
Bill Berman, Chief Executive Officer of Pendragon PLC added:
"We are delighted to have a new chairman with such an extensive
grounding in the retail sector and, most importantly, in digital
retail. I look forward to welcoming Ian into our business and
drawing on his wealth of experience as we continue to deliver on
the strategic priorities we set out last year. "
There is no information in the nature of that required by LR
9.6.13R to disclose in relation to Mr Filby's appointment to the
Board.
