ALS Limited announces Board succession

ALS Limited (ASX: ALQ) today announces planned transitional changes to the ALS Board that will mark the retirement of independent non-executive director Charles Sartain and welcome the appointment of Nigel Garrard.

Mr. Sartain retires from the ALS Board after a period of 8 years, during which he chaired the Sustainability & Innovation Committee as well as being a member of the Audit & Risk Committee.

ALS Chair Bruce Phillips commented, “On behalf of the Board I sincerely thank Charlie for his commitment, energy and contribution to the ALS Board during his tenure. Charlie’s leadership of the Sustainability and Innovation Committee, which he chaired from its inception in 2016 and in which he provided strategic oversight that has assisted in the delivery of industry-leading safety and health performance by the Company, has been outstanding. In addition, his drive and passion to lead the Committee’s oversight of carbon neutral operations and credible future Net Zero targets for the Company cannot be understated.”

As part of the planned transition, Nigel Garrard joins the Board as an independent non-executive director following on from his role as an ALS Board Adviser which commenced in April 2023.

“I am also very pleased to welcome Nigel Garrard to the ALS Board. Nigel’s appointment is a critical component of our strategic succession and sees the continued evolution of the Board. His commercial acumen and extensive experience in working in and with global public companies will enhance and complement our current Board capabilities.”

Mr. Garrard will join the Board effective 7 June 2023 following Mr. Sartain’s retirement which is effective immediately. Mr. Garrard will fill a casual vacancy on the Board and will seek formal election to the Board at the Company’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 26 July 2023.
