Knights Group Holdings plc
("Knights" or the "Group")
Appointment of Chair
Knights, a fast-growing UK legal and professional services
business, is pleased to announce the appointment of David "Dave"
Wilson as Non-Executive Chair of the Board, with immediate effect.
He also becomes a member of the Remuneration Committee.
Dave has over 30 years' international, board-level and
operational experience, having spent 12 years in senior roles,
including as Deputy Chief Executive Officer at AIM-listed GB Group
Plc, during which time that business grew organically and by
successfully completing 14 acquisitions, scaling the group from a
market cap of GBP14 million to GBP1.8 billion. In his previous
roles as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of
EnviroFone Group, he helped scale up the business with revenues
growing six-fold over three years. Other senior positions included
roles as Chief Financial Officer at Codemasters and EXi Group, and
Chief Operating Officer for a division of Fujitsu.
Dave is currently non-executive Chair of AIM-listed media group,
LBG Media Plc, having guided that company through its IPO in 2021,
and overseeing the planning and execution of its growth strategy.
He also serves as a non-executive director of musicMagpie Plc,
having joined that business ahead of its IPO in 2021.
Dave will succeed Bal Johal, who has decided to step down from
the board having served as non-executive Chair of Knights since
2012. During his tenure, the Group listed on AIM in 2018, and has
seen significant growth both organically and through the
acquisition of more than 20 independent legal and professional
services firms, with revenues increasing from GBP9m to GBP142m over
that period.
Commenting on Dave's appointment, CEO, David Beech said:
"We are delighted to welcome Dave to Knights. He brings to our
board a wealth of experience in scaling businesses organically and
through acquisitions gained over a long and successful career
across a number of listed and private companies. I look forward to
working closely with him as we continue to deliver on our strategy
of further strengthening our position as a diversified, premium
provider of legal and professional services with national
scale.
"I would also like to personally thank Bal Johal for his immense
contribution to the business over the past 11 years, during which
time the Group has seen significant growth."
Dave Wilson commented:
"I am excited to be taking on the role of Chair at Knights as it
continues to build on its strong position as one of the largest,
fully collaborative legal and professional services businesses in
the country. I look forward to working with the Board, David Beech
and the wider leadership team to continue to execute the Group's
strategy and growth plans, and deliver value for shareholders."
