Conduit Holdings reshuffles board, appoints Nicholas Shott as chair

Conduit Holdings has announced board changes, appointing Nicholas Shott as chair, with the new leader committing to support the executive team with a “relentless focus” on delivering the group’s strategic priorities.

In line with these changes, Rebecca Shelley will resume her role as senior independent director, also succeeding Ken Randall in that capacity. She will continue to serve as chair of the remuneration committee.

Neil Eckert, CEO, said: “On behalf of the board, I would like to congratulate Nicholas on his appointment as chair. I look forward to working with him as Conduit moves into the next phase of its development. 

“I would also like to express our sincere thanks to Rebecca for serving as interim chair during our search process. Her leadership ensured stability and continuity at a pivotal time for the business. The board is equally grateful to Ken Randall for his significant contribution as Chair of the Nomination Committee since Conduit's IPO in 2020, and for stepping into the Senior Independent Director role while Rebecca undertook her interim responsibilities.”

Shott added: “I am delighted to have been appointed as chair of the Board. I intend to bring a relentless focus to supporting the executive team in maximising value for Conduit’s shareholders.”
