Directorate Changes

Redhall Group plc (AIM: RHL), the high integrity manufacturing and services group, announces that Chris Kelly, who has been with the Group since May 2014, is stepping down as Group Finance Director and Company Secretary with effect from 29 June 2018. Chris will be succeeded by Simon Comer, who will be appointed to the Board with effect from 2 July 2018.

Simon's appointment follows the completion of the Group's turnaround and its shift in strategic focus to the investment, improvement and growth of its manufacturing businesses. The Board would like to thank Chris for his tremendous contribution to the Group over the past four years.

Simon's most recent role was CFO of Applied Composites Group, a private equity backed manufacturer of engineered polymer products for the aerospace and transport industries. Prior to that, he was CFO of RLC Engineering Group, a privately owned provider of manufacturing solutions, for eight years. Simon is a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.

The Group is also pleased to announce the appointment of Joe Oatley as a Non-Executive Director with effect from 15 May 2018. Joe will be the Board's Senior Independent Non-Executive Director and will also chair the Board's Remuneration Committee. Joe brings a wealth of relevant experience to the Board having been Chief Executive of Cape plc from 2012 until early 2018 and, prior to that, CEO of Hamworthy plc and MD of Strachan & Henshaw, part of Weir Group. He is currently a non-executive director of Wates Group Limited.

Phillip Hilling, who joined the Board in October 2011, will step down as a Non-Executive Director on 30 June 2018. The Board wishes to thank him for the energy and commitment he brought to his role.

Redhall's Chairman, Martyn Everett, commented: "I am delighted to announce the addition of Simon and Joe to the Board. They bring a broad range of skills to strengthen and support our businesses as we deliver our growth plans. The growth stage of Redhall's strategy is well underway with targeted investment in our engineering and manufacturing capability positioning us to deliver a pipeline of major projects."
