The Sustainability and Technology Committee will be chaired by independent non-executive director Tracey Kerr, who will be joined by Dame Nicola Brewer, Penny Freer and Ben Magara.

"Sustainability and technology are both core to Weir's purpose to enable the sustainable and efficient delivery of the natural resources essential to create a better future for the world. The Board and I are delighted to dedicate additional time and resources to these strategic priorities through the establishment of the Sustainability and Technology Committee.

I would also like to thank Sir Jim for his many years of dedication to the Weir Group and the work of the Board since he joined us in 2015. Sir Jim's contribution to the Board during his tenure, including in his position of Senior Independent Director, has been both insightful and invaluable. On behalf of the Company and the Board, we wish Sir Jim all the best for the future and are delighted to see Dame Nicola succeed him in this role."
