Meggitt PLC announced that with effect from the end of the Annual General Meeting being held on 29 April 2021, Alison Goligher will succeed Guy Berruyer as the Board's Senior Independent Director. Guy Berruyer is reaching the conclusion of his nine-year term on the Meggitt Board in October 2021. The Board consider that Guy's knowledge of Meggitt and his prior experience bring significant value to Board discussions, and that he continues to bring independent challenge to this role. The Board are also keen to ensure continuity on the Board in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and as the Group's key aerospace market recovers. In light of this, Guy Berruyer will continue to serve as a non-executive director on the Board. Alison has nearly six-years experience on the Board and has, as a result, built good relationships with the Board and executive management, and has a detailed understanding of the Group, which makes her well qualified to succeed Guy in the role of Senior Independent Director.
