Jock Lennox said:
"I am proud to have been a member of a well-regarded and effective Board in a period of great change through the Merger and subsequently. I have decided it is the appropriate time for me to stand down and I am confident that I leave the Committee in the capable hands of Fiona, who has provided insightful contributions in her first year."
Lord Livingston said:
"Jock has made a great contribution to the Company's success, as a valued member of both the Dixons Retail and the Dixons Carphone boards, and as Audit Committee Chairman. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Jock for his service over the last six years. Fiona has already made a great contribution since joining the Board in March 2017 and I look forward to working with her as Chair of the Audit Committee."
