Annual General Meeting and Board Responsibilities

 

 

Connect Group PLC, a leading specialist distributor, holds its Annual General Meeting at 11.30am today. Chairman Gary Kennedy will confirm to the meeting the continued progress being made with the strategic review of Tuffnells, which was announced in November 2019. Mr Kennedy will also tell the meeting that after five years in the role of Chairman he intends to step down from the Board on conclusion of this process.

 

During his five years in the role, Gary has led the restructuring of the Group involving significant portfolio rationalisation and the adoption of a prudent and disciplined approach to capital management. To ensure continuity and momentum, he will continue to lead the strategic review of Tuffnells and is expected to remain as Chairman until a suitable successor is identified and available to take up the position. A formal process to identify his successor will now commence and a further announcement will be made on selection of the successful candidate.

 

As also announced in November 2019, Michael Holt, Non-Executive Director of Connect and a former Chief Operating Officer at Fedex Express (Europe) is acting as Executive Chairman of Tuffnells for the period of the strategic review process. Michael is making a valuable contribution to the continued turnaround of Tuffnells, providing relevant and current insight and direction to aid the targeted profit recovery for the business.

 

An announcement regarding the progress and outcome of the Tuffnells strategic review will be made in due course, with a further update at the Group's Interim Financial Results to be published on 13 May 2020.
