Headlam Group plc announced that after seven years on the Board, Philip Lawrence, Non-Executive Chairman, has decided not to offer himself for re-election at the forthcoming AGM in May 2022, and will step down and leave the Company at that time. Keith Edelman, Senior Independent Director, will become Non-Executive Chairman upon conclusion of the AGM in May 2022 (subject to the annual director re-election shareholder vote), and Simon King, Non-Executive Director, will become Senior Independent Director (also subject to the annual director re-election shareholder vote). Additionally, Simon King will assume the position of Chair of the Remuneration Committee from Keith following the AGM.

It is the Board's intention to appoint a new Independent Non-Executive Director, and will commence this search later in the year.
