Devro, one of the world's leading manufacturers of collagen

Chantal Cayuela to the Board as an independent non-executive
director of the Company with effect from 1 January 2021. Chantal

Chantal currently leads the R&D and Innovation team for
Kellogg's European business, where she has been a Vice President

global food manufacturers, she has helped to shape their commercial
strategies through product innovation. Her career includes a period
of over sixteen years working in a variety of roles at Danone
through which she developed considerable expertise in the
successful delivery of customer-focused innovation. She
subsequently spent seven years leading the Group Bel's research,
innovation and development during which time her leadership of, and
approach to, product innovation played a pivotal role in
reinvigorating the brand, enabling the business to grow beyond its
traditional core cheese markets. Chantal is a French national and
she holds a doctorate in Biotechnology Chemical Engineering
Sciences.
Devro also announces that Dr Paul Withers, non-executive
director, will retire from the Board on 31 December 2020.
Consequently, from 1 January 2021, Lesley Jackson will become the
Company's Senior Independent Director.

"I am delighted to welcome Chantal to Devro's Board of
Directors. She brings extensive experience of successful product
innovation in international food manufacturing businesses and will
add valuable skills and insights to support the development and
execution of the Company's growth strategy.
"On behalf of the Board, I would also like to thank Paul for his
invaluable service as a non-executive director since 2011 and,
particularly in the last year as the Company's Senior Independent
Director, for his flexibility and contribution to the initiative to
refresh the composition of the Board, completed with Chantal's
appointment. I wish him well for the future."
Nothing in connection with Chantal's appointment falls to be
disclosed under LR 9.6.13.
