RNS Announcement - Jersey Electricity Plc - Directorate Change
Jersey Electricity plc ("the Company") announces the intention to extend the term of Mr Phil Austin MBE for a further year. Mr Austin has served on the Board since 2016 and thus this extension of his appointment will exceed the nine-year period referenced in prevailing corporate governance standards. The Board has reviewed the Chair's independence and effectiveness and is satisfied that Mr Austin continues to contribute independent leadership and significant expertise. The Board supports his re-election for a further year, on the basis that this remains in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, to allow for strategic continuity. The Chair's reappointment will be subject to re-election at the Annual General Meeting, and the Board will continue to keep this matter under active review.
At the same time, the Company announces that, following completion of his nine-year term, Mr Tony Taylor will resign from the Board at the quarterly board meeting on 03 September 2026. In preparedness, Mr Paul Savery, who joined the Board on 01 December 2025, will become a Member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Nominations Committee, with effect from 04 March 2026, to allow for a shadow period
