Directorate changes

Michael Page International plc, the specialist recruitment consultancy, announces that following the completion of an external recruitment and handover process, David Lowden has been appointed to the Board as an independent Non-Executive Director, Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and member of the Audit and Nomination Committees, effective today. For personal reasons Reg Sindall will today, following David Lowden's appointment, retire from the Board and relinquish his responsibilities as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee.

David is currently Senior Independent Director and Chairman of the Remuneration Committee of Berendsen plc, Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee at William Hill plc and Chairman of Rice 2 Limited. From July 2011 until its sale to Vodafone in July 2012 he was a Non-executive Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee for Cable and Wireless Worldwide plc. David was a member of the Board of TNS plc, the marketing services business, from 1999 to 2009, becoming Chief Executive Officer in 2006. Before joining TNS plc he held senior financial positions with Asprey plc, A.C. Nielsen Corporation and Federal Express Corporation.

Commenting on the Board changes, Robin Buchanan, Chairman, said: 

"We are most sorry to see Reg leave the Board. In the two years he has been with us he has made significant and wide ranging contributions. He will be missed by his colleagues on the Board. We fully understand his reasons for stepping down as a director and wish him well for the future.

"We are delighted to welcome David to the Board. His experience not only of leading Taylor Nelson Sofres, a worldwide people business, but also as a member of other plc boards and committees will be a valuable asset to Michael Page."

There are no disclosures to be made under Listing Rule 9.6.13 in respect of either Reg Sindall or David Lowden.
