Knights, one of the UK's fastest growing regional legal and
professional services businesses, is pleased to announce the
appointments of Richard King, formerly a Non-Executive Director, as
Chief Operating Officer and Jane Pateman as a Non-Executive
Director of the Company, both with immediate effect.
Richard King brings a strong combination of skills and
experience in leading the scaling up of business services, HR and
sales as well as digitisation and acquisition integration in both
large scale global corporations, including Procter & Gamble and
Shell, and a start-up B2B cloud services provider, Transora. His
appointment to this role will enable David Beech to focus on
driving the continued growth of the Group's professional services
revenue streams.
Jane Pateman brings 17 years' experience in senior HR roles at
listed businesses including Centrica and British Gas, and

for approximately 8000 employees across 4 operating divisions.
She has a strong track record in driving business benefits
through the development and delivery of human capital strategies.
During her eight years at Biffa, she has provided significant
support in delivering solutions during major growth periods,
including during its IPO as well as driving people and cultural
integration for the multiple acquisitions Biffa has made over the
past five years.
Jane will chair Knights' Remuneration Committee and also join
the Audit Committee, replacing Richard on both.
Balbinder ("Bal") Singh Johal, Chairman of Knights,
commented:
"In anticipation of continued significant growth, we are
delighted that Richard has accepted the role as Chief Operating
Officer, enabling David to focus on driving growth. His skills and
experience are ideal as we scale the Knights business model,
integrate acquisitions and exploit the opportunity that technology
provides to transform how Knights delivers professional services to
clients.
"We are also delighted to welcome Jane to the Board. Her proven
record of delivering business benefits through effective HR
strategies during periods of growth will be crucial to Knights as
we continue to deliver our strategy of growing both organically and
through carefully selected acquisitions."
