Aggreko plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Clare as a Non-executive Director and Chair Designate with effect from 1 October 2020.

 

Subject to shareholder approval of his election to the Board, Mark will become Chair of the Board following our 2021 Annual General Meeting. This will allow for a managed and orderly transition from the current Chairman, Ken Hanna. Ken will step down as Chairman and Non-executive Director at the conclusion of the 2021 Annual General Meeting (as stated in our Interim Results announcement of 6 August 2020).

 

Mark is currently Chair of Grainger plc, Senior Independent Director of United Utilities Group plc and a Non-executive Director of Premier Marina Holdings Limited. He was also Senior Independent Director of Ladbrokes Coral Group plc from 2016-2018 and a Non-executive Director of BAA plc from 2001-2006. Mark was previously Chief Executive of Barratt Developments plc from 2006-2015. Prior to joining Barratt, he held a number of senior roles within Centrica plc and British Gas plc.

 

Mark will join the Nomination, Remuneration and Ethics & Corporate Responsibility Committees.

 

Uwe Krueger, the Company's Senior Independent Director who led the planned succession process, said:

 

"We are delighted to welcome Mark to the Board. Mark's appointment to the Board as Non-executive Director and Chair Designate reflects his calibre and suitability for the role of leading the Aggreko Board. He is an experienced Non-executive Director and Chair, bringing a wealth of industry knowledge, strong leadership track record, extensive knowledge of customer needs and market leading service levels.
