BAE SYSTEMS PLC - NOTICE OF DIRECTORATE CHANGE
The Board of BAE Systems plc announces that, Dame Carolyn
Fairbairn will be standing down from her role as a Non-Executive
Director at the Company's Annual General Meeting on May 5th 2022.
Dame Carolyn informed the Board that her decision to stand down was
taken following accepting a new role as Chair of the Royal Mencap
Society, a cause that for personal reasons she cares deeply about
and wishes to devote significant time to over the coming years.
Dame Carolyn has chosen to prioritise her work for Mencap, and in
doing so help improve the lives of people with learning
disabilities across the country in memory of her sister, Diana, who
was born with cerebral palsy and led a full life until her death in
hospital at the end of last year.
Sir Roger Carr, Chair of BAE Systems said today, "Dame Carolyn
has been a much valued contributor to the Board and we have
accepted her resignation with both regret and understanding. Her
commitment to improving the lives of those with a learning
disability in her new role at Mencap is driven by a deep personal
experience and we admire and respect her decision to dedicate so
much of her time to this important cause."
Dame Carolyn said, "It has been a privilege to be a member of
the BAE Systems Board at a time when the company's role in keeping
us safe has never been clearer. Under the leadership of Sir Roger
Carr and Charles Woodburn, BAE Systems is a true global champion,
driven by its purpose, values and exceptional people and
technology. It is with a heavy heart that I have taken the decision
to stand down, and do so only because of my new role as Chair of
Mencap, a charity that has particular meaning to me following the
death of my sister last year. There is a mountain to climb to
ensure everyone with a learning disability is able to reach their
full potential, and I am committed to playing my part. I would like
to thank Sir Roger, Charles, and my board and executive colleagues
for their leadership, professionalism and friendship during my time
at BAE Systems."
