Appointment of Independent Non-Executive Director

Altitude Group plc (AIM: ALT), a technology and services provider specialising in end-to-end solutions for the branded merchandise and promotional products industry, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Bob Wigley as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company, with effect from 5 March 2026.

Bob has served as founding Chairman of UK Finance since its formation in 2017, the trade body representing over 300 banking and finance firms in the United Kingdom. He was previously EMEA Chairman of Merrill Lynch, and a member of the Court of the Bank of England. He is the author of Born Digital: The Story of a Distracted Generation (2021), a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, an Honorary Professor at King's College London, a Visiting Fellow of Oxford University's Said Business School, and an Honorary Fellow of Cambridge Judge Business School.

Bob joins Altitude having led the UK Finance report Unlocking the Power of Securities Tokenisation, produced in conjunction with Oliver Wyman, and with extensive board-level experience in market infrastructures including Euroclear and LCH.Clearnet. He will strengthen and validate the Company's strategy and provide independent oversight as Altitude continues to enhance value and efficiency across the AIM Smarter platform.

Alexander Brennan, Executive Chair of Altitude, commented: "Bob has highly relevant experience in payment processing and tokenisation, and a deep understanding of the digital impact on social and buying behaviour. His expertise will help drive value and efficiencies for all parts of AIM Smarter's circa $3.7 billion of aggregate transactional flow that we are focused on growing."

Bob Wigley commented: "I am delighted to join Altitude at a time when AIM Smarter's platform is uniquely positioned to transform how over 2,300 independent promotional products distributors transact, access data, and compete - with the ambition to broaden that community further. The convergence of frictionless trading, AI efficiencies and community commerce within a trusted network is compelling, and I look forward to working with the Board to help realise that opportunity."
