               Appointment of Will Serle as Chief People Officer 
 
Capita plc ("Capita") is pleased to announce the appointment of Will Serle as 
Chief People Officer, with effect from April 2018. He will join Capita's 
Executive Committee and report directly to Jonathan (Jon) Lewis, Capita's Chief 
Executive Officer. The position of Chief People Officer is a newly established 
role within Capita as it progresses with its ongoing transformation plan. 
 
Will has over 25 years of Human Resources experience and has developed 
significant expertise in leading teams in highly demanding and complex 
organisations. Prior to joining Capita, he was Chief People Officer at Amec 
Foster Wheeler, where he led the company's global HR leadership team. Will has 
also held senior HR management roles including at several energy firms. 
 
In his new role at Capita, Will is responsible for overseeing the extensive 
pool of talent already within the business, as well as managing the company's 
resourcing strategy in order to build an organization of people with the right 
competencies, capabilities, culture and engagement. 
 
Jon Lewis, CEO of Capita, said: "Our people are key to the long-term success of 
Capita and I am determined to invest in developing talented colleagues that 
help position Capita as a differentiated provider of technology enabled 
solutions. I worked with Will for a number of years and I am very pleased he is 
joining us. Will has a superb track record in effectively implementing 
strategies to manage the human capital in large, complex businesses. He also 
has extensive experience of overseeing companies going through significant 
reorganisations and his insight will be invaluable as we continue with the 
transformation plan we announced in January of this year. This appointment is 
representative of the important steps we are already taking within the business 
to return it to long-term sustainable growth." 
 
Will Serle, Chief People Officer-designate at Capita, said: "I am really 
excited by the prospect of joining Capita. Jon has talked to me at length about 
the excellent talent that already exists within the business and, while this is 
obviously a period of significant change within the company, a major part of my 
role will be to ensure the right resources are in place to deliver Capita back 
to a position of strength."
