CHESNARA PLC CHANGE OF DIRECTORSHIP

 

On 12 May 2021, Chesnara announced that John Deane intended to retire from the Company and to step down as Group Chief Executive by the end of the year.  Chesnara also announced that it had identified Steve Murray as intended successor to the role of Group Chief Executive, subject to regulatory approval, and he was subsequently appointed an Executive Director of Chesnara and Countrywide Assured plc on 2 August 2021.

 

Chesnara is today delighted to announce that the necessary regulatory approval has been secured in the UK and Steve is therefore appointed to the role of Chesnara's Group Chief Executive with immediate effect.  At the same time, John Deane ceases to be a Director of both Chesnara and Countrywide Assured plc.  John will remain a Director on the relevant Boards of the Company's Netherland and Swedish businesses until local regulatory approval is secured for Steve Murray.

 

The previously noted remuneration arrangements agreed with Steve will be actioned at the appropriate time and announced by RNS as required with further disclosure to be provided in the Directors' Remuneration Report in 2022.
