Capita will be recruiting to add further independent non-executive directors to the board.
Capita chief executive Paul Pindar says: “Both Eric and Paddy have made an immense contribution to Capita over the last 9 and 17 years respectively and have been instrumental in Capita’s success.
“Paddy has also been a great support to me personally and I am delighted that he will be continuing to support Capita as a Non-Executive Director. I would like to wish Eric all the very best for the future and thank him for all his support. I amalso delighted that Martin has agreed to take over as Chairman. Martin’s contribution so far to the Board has been invaluable and I am sure this will continue in his new role.”
