Appointment of Non-Executive Director and Chair
Designate
London, 28 July 2023. Unilever
PLC ("Unilever") is pleased to announce the appointment of Ian
Meakins as a Non-Executive Director and Chair Designate following a
comprehensive search process.
Ian will join the Board as Non-Executive Director and Chair
Designate on 1 September 2023 and will succeed Nils Andersen as
Chair on 1 December 2023. Nils will step down from the Board, after
nine years' service, at Unilever's Annual General Meeting in May
2024.
Ian is currently Chair of Compass Group PLC and Rexel SA, and has
significant global business experience across a diverse range of
industries. He served as Chief Executive of Wolseley plc (now
Ferguson plc) from 2009 to 2016, Chief Executive of Travelex
Holdings Ltd from 2007 to 2009 and as Chief Executive of Alliance
Unichem plc from 2004, until its merger with Boots in 2006.
Previously he held positions at Diageo, Bain & Company, and
Procter & Gamble.
Nils Andersen said: "I am delighted to welcome Ian to the Board
following a thorough global search process. Ian has a strong track
record of success in executive and non-executive roles across a
range of industries. I am sure Unilever will greatly benefit from
his extensive experience and I am confident that he will provide
the Board with strong and effective leadership."
Ian Meakins said: "It is a great honour to have been asked to
succeed Nils as Chair of Unilever. I look forward to working with
the Board and with Hein and his leadership team to help realise
Unilever's full potential and create value for all its
stakeholders."
Hein Schumacher, Unilever CEO, said: "On behalf of the Board, I
would like to thank Nils for his excellent leadership of our
company as Chair over the last four years.
"Nils chaired the company through a period of significant
volatility and some of the most challenging operational conditions
in decades. He was instrumental in sharpening Unilever's focus on
operational performance, creating a simpler and more agile company
through the unification of Unilever NV and PLC into one legal
structure, and implementing our new category focused
organization."
There are no other matters that require disclosure under 9.6.13R of
the UK Listing Rules.
