Volution Group plc announced that Jonathan Davis has been appointed as an independent Non-Executive Director of the Company with effect from 23 June 2023. Jonathan will also become Chairman of the Audit Committee, and will join the Remuneration and Nomination Committees, on appointment. Jonathan Davis is currently Group Finance Director at Rotork plc, a FTSE 250 global provider of mission-critical intelligent flow control solutions operating across a diverse range of markets, including the oil & gas, water, power, chemicals, and process industries.

The appointment of Jonathan will coincide with a number of previously announced changes to the Board.

Nigel will also be appointed as Chairman of the Nomination Committee on that date.

He will remain as a member of the Remuneration Committee but will stand down as a member of the Audit Committee. Amanda Mellor, Senior Independent Director, will step down as planned from her role as interim Chair of the Nomination Committee with effect from 23 June 2023, but will remain as a member of the Committee. Paul Hollingworth will retire from the Board as previously notified, also with effect from 23 June 2023.
