Non-Executive Director Appointments
Laure Duhot and Delphine Mousseau's appointment as independent
Non-Executive Directors with effect from 1 November 2021.
Laure Duhot brings over 30 years of senior executive level
experience in the investment banking and property sectors,
specialising in alternative real estate assets, and has been a
non-executive director at a number of funds and property
companies.
Laure started her career in the investment banking sector and
has developed a focus on the property sector. She has held senior
roles at Lehman Brothers, Macquarie Capital Partners, Sunrise
Senior Living Inc., Pradera Limited and Grainger plc and latterly
as Head of Investment and Capital Markets - Europe at Lendlease.
She is currently a non-executive director of Primary Health
Properties plc and NB Global Monthly Income Fund Limited, a
premium-listed Guernsey registered fund. Formerly Laure was a
non-executive director of InLand Homes plc and MedicX Fund, which
merged with Primary Health Properties plc in March 2019.
Delphine Mousseau brings over 25 years of senior executive level
and consultancy experience in e-commerce and customer engagement
across Europe, specialising in retail.
Delphine began her career as a Project Manager at the Boston
Consulting Group before moving on to join Plantes-et-Jardins.com
where she became Head of Operations. Between 2007 and 2011, she was
Director of E-Commerce for Europe at Tommy Hilfiger and then became
an independent consultant, primarily for the former Primondo
Specialty Group which was Carlyle owned. Latterly Delphine was VP
Markets at Zalando. Based in Germany, Delphine is currently
non-executive director at Fnac-Darty SA and Aramis Group SAS, both
listed on Euronext Paris.
David Hearn, Chairman, commented:
"On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Jo Kenrick
and Bill Oliver for their substantial contribution over many years
to the success of Safestore. During their time on the Board, the
business has expanded on all fronts - geographic footprint, square
footage, revenues and margins and both Bill and Jo have made a
significant contribution to this success. We wish them both well in
all their future endeavours.
Separately, I would like to welcome Laure and Delphine onto the
Board from November. Laure's extensive experience in investment
banking specialising in the property sector, together with
Delphine's experience in e-commerce and customer engagement both as
an entrepreneur and within larger organisations will be highly
valuable. Together they will bring these important skills to the
Safestore Board, especially across our expanding continental
European businesses which will contribute to the continued growth
of the business in this next phase of our development."
There is no additional information required to be disclosed
pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.13 in relation to the appointments of
Laure Duhot and Delphine Mousseau.
Delphine and Laure's appointments as members of the Company's
Board Committees will be announced at a later date.
