Dennis Millard – Chairman
Andrew Brent
Anthony Cann
John Worby

The Nominations Committee is chaired by Dennis Millard and its other members are Andrew Brent, Anthony Cann and John Worby.

The Committee’s terms of reference, which are available below, set out the responsibilities of the Committee, which include reviewing the composition of the Board including the skills, knowledge and experience of the directors; ensuring plans are in place for orderly succession planning for directors and senior management; and identifying and nominating candidates to fill board vacancies.

During the year the Committee led the recruitment process for a new Chief Financial Officer after Alan Humphrey informed the Board that he intended to retire. Following a tender, search consultants, Egon Zehnder International, were instructed by the Committee in connection with this process. The Committee considered the skills, knowledge, background and experience required for the role, and a job specification was prepared. Following an extensive search, the Committee recommended to the Board that Nick Gresham be appointed. Nick Gresham joined the Company and was appointed to the Board on 1 August 2010.

The Committee holds one meeting each year to review succession planning and otherwise meets as required. The Committee met three times during the year.
