(Alliance News) - YouGov PLC on Friday said Nick Jones will be retiring as a non-executive director at the company's annual general meeting, which will be held of December 11.
The research data and analytics company said Jones has served on the YouGov board for 10 years and is currently senior independent director. During his tenure, Jones has also held the position of chair of the Audit Committee, a role which was taken over by Ashley Martin in November last year.
Following Jones's retirement, Rosemary Leith, a non-executive director & chair of the Remuneration Committee, will assume the position of senior independent director, YouGov said.
Due to its current size and range of expertise, YouGov has no immediate plans to recruit an additional non-executive director, it said.
"Nick has made a great contribution to YouGov over the past decade. During this period, the group has grown rapidly both in its size and in its international presence," said Chair Roger Parry.
"Rosemary has built a strong relationship with our shareholders since her appointment to the board in February 2015, particularly through her role as chair of the Remuneration Committee. We welcome her additional appointment as senior independent director," added Parry.
YouGov shares were trading 0.6% higher in London on Friday at 536.00 pence each.
