The Weir Group PLC ("Weir") announces that Non-Executive Directors John Mogford and Alan Ferguson will retire from the Board after the Company Annual General Meeting in April 2018.

John joined the Board in June 2008 and Alan has served since December 2011, including chairing the Audit Committee from May 2012.

Stephen Young, Chief Executive of Meggitt PLC ("Meggitt"), will join the Board as a Non-Executive Director and member of the Audit Committee from 1 January 2018.

Stephen recently announced he would step down as Chief Executive from Meggitt, which provides engineering solutions to global aerospace, defence and energy markets, at the end of April 2018. Stephen joined Meggitt as Group Finance Director in 2004 and was appointed Chief Executive in 2013.

Commenting on the changes, Weir Group PLC Chairman Charles Berry said:

"Both John and Alan have made exceptional contributions to the Board in recent years and Weir is a stronger business as a result of their expertise and strategic counsel.

I also look forward to working with Stephen. He has an enviable track record leading a major engineering business and that experience will be a valuable addition to our Board as Weir continues to build on its global leadership positions."

Prior to joining Meggitt, Stephen Young was Group Finance Director of Thistle Hotels plc and the Automobile Association. He is currently Non-Executive Director, Audit Committee Chairman and member of Risk and Remuneration committees of Derwent London plc.

On his appointment, Stephen said:
