Board Changes

Redcentric plc (AIM:RCN), a leading UK IT managed services provider, today announces the following Board changes.

As part of the evolution of the Company, Ian Smith has decided to step down from his position as Non-Executive Director of Redcentric, effective immediately. Ian is stepping down to concentrate on other MXC Capital backed investments, principally his role as Chief Executive of Castleton Technology plc.

Stephen Puckett, aged 53, joins the Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director, with immediate effect. Stephen was Group Finance Director at Michael Page International plc and a number of its subsidiaries from 2001 to 2012. Stephen will become Chairman of the Audit Committee and will be a member of the Remuneration and Nominations Committees. Stephen is also a Non-Executive Director of ITE Group plc, and Hydrogen Group plc, where he chairs the Audit Committee, and is a director of the Kingston Carers Network.

Furthermore, Tim Coleman takes over from Paul Myhill as Company Secretary. Paul has served the Board well in the period since the demerger from Redstone, and will now be concentrating exclusively on his other responsibilities.

Following these changes, the Board comprises an Independent Non-Executive Chairman, with a further two Independent Non-Executive Directors along with three Executive Directors. David Payne remains the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Remuneration Committee.

Chris Cole, Chairman of Redcentric commented:

"Ian, along with Tony and his partners at MXC Capital, helped create Redcentric as one of the leading players in the industry. The Board would like to thank Ian for his fundamental contribution to Redcentric's success over the past few years.

"We are delighted to welcome Stephen Puckett to the Board. Stephen brings a wealth of senior boardroom experience, having served on the boards of a number of large listed companies and adds further gravitas to our Board."

Stephen Puckett commented:

"I am delighted to be joining the Redcentric Board at this exciting stage of the Company's development, and I'm looking forward to working with Chris, Tony and their colleagues over the next few years to help Redcentric grow and fulfil its potential."
