This announcement contains inside information
Renewi plc ("Renewi", the "Company") - Chief Executive Officer
Succession
The Board of Renewi plc (LSE:RWI) announces that Peter Dilnot,
Chief Executive Officer, has notified the Board of his resignation
from the Company in order to take up the role of Chief Operating
Officer of the FTSE 100 business, Melrose Industries plc. Peter
will continue as Chief Executive Officer through the remainder of
the current financial year.
The Board is pleased to announce that Otto de Bont, currently
Managing Director, Renewi Netherlands (NL) Commercial Division,
will succeed Peter as Chief Executive Officer in April 2019.
Otto de Bont joined Renewi in May 2017 to lead the newly created
NL Commercial Division following the merger between Shanks Group
and Van Gansewinkel Groep. NL Commercial is Renewi's largest
division and the Dutch market leader in recycling services. Otto
has led the successful integration of the two businesses and has
played a central role in building Renewi's presence and reputation
in the Benelux region.
Otto has extensive leadership experience within a number of
blue-chip industrial companies including United Technologies, GE
Plastics and GE Security. Prior to joining Renewi, Otto spent six
years at UTC where his roles included President of Fire and
Security Field Continental Europe, a EUR1bn business with over
8,000 employees. Otto has a track record of delivering profitable
growth and has led a number of large scale integrations, including
the post-merger integration of GE Security and UTC Fire and
Security divisions.
There is no further information to be disclosed in respect of
Otto de Bont under paragraph 9.6.13 of the FCA Listing Rules.
Colin Matthews CBE, Renewi Chairman, commented:
"We are grateful for Peter's strong and effective leadership
over nearly seven years, particularly with the creation of Renewi
last year, and we will miss him. We understand that his new role is
a great opportunity for him and we wish him well.
"Otto was recruited two years ago as part of our succession
planning. The Board is delighted with his contribution since
joining, and pleased to confirm his promotion to CEO from April
2019."
Peter Dilnot, Renewi CEO, commented:
"I have enjoyed my time leading both Shanks and Renewi. The
benefits from our transformational merger are coming through
strongly, and the business is well placed for future growth with a
clear vision, dedicated employees and advantaged market positions.
I look forward to continuing to work closely with the Board and all
my Renewi colleagues in the months ahead, and to handing over
seamlessly to Otto next year."
