Martin's appointment follows a comprehensive search process conducted by a third party Board search firm.
Andrew Allner, Chairman, commented, "We are delighted that Martin has agreed to join the Board. He is a highly experienced Audit & Risk Committee Chair and he brings to the Board considerable sector experience of building products and distribution."
"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Shatish for his dedication and commitment since he joined SIG in February 2021 and for his valuable contribution in strengthening SIG's financial processes and risk management framework."
