from executive roles later that year. More recently, he was, until

Accountant.
On appointment David will become a member of the Remuneration,
Audit and Risk, and Nominations Committees. From September he will
take over the role of Chair of the Nominations Committee.
Rod Waldie, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"We are delighted to announce that David is joining Gateley next
month as a non-executive director and that he has agreed to Chair
the Group when Nigel steps down in September. Nigel has provided
invaluable guidance and support to Gateley since our IPO in 2015.
All of our stakeholders have benefited from him being at the helm
for 9 years.
"David's experience as a chairman and non-executive director,
alongside his executive roles leading and supporting companies with
their growth ambitions, really stood out for us. His
characteristics and personality are closely aligned to our own and
he will be an excellent Chair for the Group. He joins the business
at an important stage in our development as we continue to focus on
our long-term strategy for growth through diversification in legal
and consultancy services. On behalf of the board and everyone at
Gateley, I welcome him to the team and look forward to working with
him."
