Director Changes
4 January 2012
The Board of Thomas Cook Group plc today announces that three
of the longest serving non-executive Directors, David Allvey,
Bo Lerenius and Peter Middleton, will each retire at the
conclusion of the Company's AGM to be held on 8 February
2012.
David Allvey's retirement comes, in accordance with corporate
governance best practice, at the end of his nine years of
continuous service as a non- executive Director of MyTravel
Group plc and then the Company, following their merger. Bo
Lerenius and Peter Middleton have decided to retire to allow
the new Chairman, Frank Meysman, more flexibility to refresh
the Board at this stage of the Company's development.
Roger Burnell, the Senior Independent Director, who also
joined MyTravel Group plc as a non-executive Director in
2003, has agreed to remain on the Board of the Company for a
further year to provide continuity and will retire at the
2013 AGM.
An international search and selection firm has been appointed
to assist the Chairman and the Nominations Committee to
identify and appoint additional non-executive Directors with
recent operating experience.
Frank Meysman said "I would like to thank David, Bo and Peter
for their contribution to the Board over the years, and
particularly during the recent challenges that the Group has
had to face. I, and my other colleagues on the Board, wish
them well for the future. I am also grateful to Roger for
agreeing to remain on the Board for a further year."
