SThree plc
("SThree" or the "Group")
Appointment of Employee Representative Non-Executive Director
SThree, the international STEM specialist staffing business, is pleased to announce that Denise Collis has been appointed in the newly formed role of Employee Representative Non-Executive Director, with effect from 1 December 2018.
This appointment is an early adoption of recently announced changes to the UK Corporate Governance Code, due to come into effect in 2019-2020. The update highlights the increasing need to consider the employee voice at Board level as well as throughout the business and the Code suggests, as one option, a designated Non-Executive Director as a suitable way for the Board to gather the views of the workforce. This early appointment is in line with SThree's best practice corporate governance aspiration, as well as its culture of creating a positive and inclusive work environment which empowers its people.
Denise joined the Board in July 2016 and currently sits on the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees, chairing the latter.
There are no additional details relating to the appointments that are required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraph 9.6.13 (1-6) of the Listing Rules.
