Commenting on this change, Alastair Lyons, non-executive Chairman of Serco, said: "Having doubled the number of non-executives on our Board earlier this year, and their having had some time to get into the business, we are now able to achieve a more balanced spread of roles across our non-executives.  I would like to thank Malcolm Wyman for having also, since May 2013, carried the responsibilities of Senior Independent Director in addition to his role as Audit Committee Chair."
