Appointment of Jenny Goldie-Scot and Sunil Gadhia as Independent Non-Executive Directors

In line with Gateley's commitments to growth and to attracting and developing exceptional talent across the Group, Gateley is pleased to announce the appointments to the Board of Jenny Goldie-Scot and Sunil Gadhia, both as Independent Non-Executive Directors, with immediate effect.

Jenny brings a wealth of experience from her executive career in global financial services and technology businesses, followed by a series of non-executive director roles within financial services. Jenny spent nearly 23 years at Morgan Stanley where she was latterly Global Head of Strategy, Operations & Technology, Finance with roles in both London and New York, before joining Google where she was VP Finance, Systems & Integrations and led significant transformation. Since then, Jenny has held various board and advisory positions and is currently a non-executive director of HSBC UK Bank plc, Marks & Spencer Financial Services plc and Marks & Spencer Unit Trust Management Limited.

Sunil brings significant experience of accelerating profitable growth in legal and professional services from his executive career. Sunil was until recently a partner for 12 years at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, where he was a member of the firm's Global Executive Committee. Before that, he spent 15 years as a partner at Stephenson Harwood LLP and for six of those years he was Chief Executive. During his tenure the firm's revenues more than doubled and it became one of the most profitable mid-sized law firms in the City, being awarded "Law Firm of the Year" at the British Legal Awards. Sunil has chaired the Asian Business Association of the London Chamber of Commerce and has also served on the board of the Advertising Standards Authority.

To support Gateley's growth journey, which is underpinned by strong governance and risk management, the existing Audit & Risk Committee will be separated into two committees of the Board with immediate effect: Jenny Goldie-Scot will chair the newly formed Risk Committee and will become a member of the Audit Committee. Martin Pike will chair the Audit Committee and will become a member of the Risk Committee. Edward Knapp will Chair the Nomination and Remuneration Committees and will be a member of the Audit and Risk Committees. Sunil Gadhia will become a member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committees.

Joanne Lake will conclude her term on the Board at the AGM on 24 September 2025, having provided a decade of invaluable service as both an Independent Non-Executive Director and as Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee.

Edward Knapp, Chair of Gateley, said: "In line with our focus at Gateley on outstanding client service, our strategy for growth through organic opportunities and acquisitions, and our commitment to attracting and developing exceptional talent across the Group, we are delighted to welcome Jenny Goldie-Scot and Sunil Gadhia to the Board. They will bring remarkable breadth and depth of experience from their executive and non-executive careers in global legal, professional services and wider financial services businesses.

"On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Joanne Lake for her exceptional contribution to the Group in the decade since the IPO, and to wish her every success for the future."
