XP Power announces that James Peters, Chair of the Board, has informed the Group of his intention to retire from the Board at the conclusion of the Company’s AGM in April 2023, at which point he will have completed 35 years of service with the Group and its predecessor companies.

James will be succeeded as Chair at that time by Jamie Pike who is being appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director, and designate chair, with immediate effect.

James Peters, Chair said:

"After more than three decades with the Group, I believe the time is now right to begin the process of handing over the role of Chair to a successor who will steer the Board through XP Power’s next phase of growth. Jamie is a highly experienced Board Chair, having had operational and board level experience across the industrial products and services, energy and manufacturing sectors, and I am confident he will make a significant contribution to the Board and to the Group’s future success."
