Retirement of Director and Director Role Changes
RPC Group Plc, Europe's leading supplier of rigid plastic packaging, announces that Peter Wood will retire from the Board with effect from 31 March 2012. We would like to thank Peter for the contribution he has made to the Board over the last 6 years and we wish him well for the future.
Peter Wood joined the Board as an independent Non-executive Director in March 2006. He was appointed Chairman of the Remuneration Committee in April 2009 and Senior Independent Director three months later. Peter has decided that this is an appropriate time to retire and has also announced that he will not be seeking re-election as Chairman of Yule Catto & Co plc at its AGM on 17 May 2012.
The Nomination Committee, chaired by Jamie Pike, is in the process of recruiting a new independent Non-executive Director with the assistance of external recruitment consultants engaged for the purpose, taking into account current best practice and, in particular, board diversity, including gender. A further announcement will be made in due course.
With effect from Peter Wood's retirement from the Board, Martin Towers will take over the role of Senior Independent Director and Stephan Rojahn has been appointed as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee.
