Board changes

Northamber is pleased to be able to announce the appointment of Gordon Hamilton as senior non executive director of the company with effect from 17 December 2010. He will also chair the audit and remuneration committees of the board.

Commenting on the appointment, Chairman David Phillips said "Gordon brings to the post a vast experience in a wide range of industries and an extensive knowledge of financial matters and experience of the City. He will, we are sure, be a most valuable addition to the board.

Gordon worked at Deloitte & Touche for over 30 years, until retiring as a senior audit partner in 2006, and was also the partner responsible for the audit of Northamber in the late 1990's so he already has an understanding of the business. We are indeed delighted that he has agreed to join our board and we feel most fortunate to have secured his services."

Gordon Hamilton's other directorships now include Beazley plc, the London listed insurance group, and the Johannesburg listed group Barloworld Limited, as well as Fairbairn Private Bank Limited and Fairbairn Private Bank (IOM) Limited, both offshore subsidiaries of the listed South African Nedbank Group. He has been a member of the UK Financial Reporting Review Panel since 2002.

In past years Gordon served as a Director and Treasurer of the charities, the Royal National Institute for Deaf People and Action on Addiction.

Whilst we are happy to announce Gordon's appointment, we have at the same time to announce that Tony Caplin has regrettably felt that the growing pressure of his other commitments required him to advise his resignation from the board with immediate effect.

Tony has not only been a long term member of the board but has also been a pillar of strength, particularly during the recent very turbulent years. His advice has always been most welcome and useful and we are sorry to lose his wisdom and guidance. We thank him for his help and assistance to the company and wish him well in the future.

There are no further matters which are required to be disclosed under Rule 9.6.13R of the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority.
