Group Chair Succession

Balfour Beatty plc (the "Company")

Group Chair Succession

 

The Company announced on 9 December 2020 that the Group Chair, Philip Aiken AM, intended to step down at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 13 May 2021.

 

An externally supported search for a suitable successor is progressing well but Philip Aiken's successor is unlikely to be in post before the Annual General Meeting. The Board has therefore asked Philip Aiken to remain as Group Chair until his successor can take up the position. Philip Aiken will then step down from the Board upon the successful handover to the new Group Chair.

 

Philip Aiken will therefore be standing for re-election at the upcoming Annual General Meeting in May 2021.
