Nomination Committee

The following is an extract from the Directors' Statement on Corporate Governance contained in the Annual Report for 2009. The current composition of the board and board committees can be found here.

The Nomination Committee comprises Mr. Anthony E. Collins, Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Michael Chadwick, Ms. Gillian Bowler, Mr. Richard W. Jewson and Mr. Roderick Ryan. The Board is actively engaged in orderly succession planning and is assisted in this function by the Nomination Committee. The Committee keeps the composition, skills and diversity of the Board under review to ensure that it has the range of skills required for the Board to meet the demands of the business and fulfil its obligations to shareholders. The Nomination Committee met three times during the year to consider the Board’s membership and additional skills and experience which might benefit the Board’s performance. During 2009, the Committee identified, and recommended to the Board, a suitable candidate for appointment as a non-executive Director, Mr. Charles M. Fisher. External search consultants were not engaged to identify candidates as Committee members were aware, from their own research and enquiries, of candidates with the appropriate skills and experience. The Committee also reviewed succession planning at Executive Director level.

The Nomination Committee’s terms of reference are available from the Company and can also be found on the Group’s website at www.graftonplc.com.
