Directorate Change

RA International Group PLC (AIM: RAI), a specialist provider of complex and integrated remote site services to organisations globally, is pleased to announce the appointment of Lieutenant General Paul Jaques CB CBE as a non-executive director with effect from 1 December 2022. Ian Henderson has also notified the Board of his intention to stand down as a non-executive director with effect from the same date.

Prior to his retirement from the regular British Army in 2019, Paul served as Chief of Materiel (Land) in the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Quarter Master General for the Army.  He was commissioned into the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in 1983 and has a wealth of experience commanding engineering, infrastructure and logistic units on operations in the Middle East and Former Yugoslavia and delivering complex programmes across the whole of Defence.   

Sangita Shah, Chair of RA International, said: "We are delighted to welcome Paul to the Board. Paul brings extensive and highly relevant experience across the government space, including through his distinguished service with the British Army. Together with the pedigree we have on the Board of RA Federal Services in the US, Paul's appointment strengthens our capability to build on our existing track record as a trusted partner with government clients. We look forward to drawing on Paul's expertise as we deepen and broaden these relationships, in line with our refreshed growth strategy.

On a personal level, I would like to recognise the considerable contribution Ian has made to the business as he steps away from the RA Board. The Board has greatly benefitted from Ian's counsel, not least with his expertise in investment markets supporting RA as a listed business and his experience in the natural resources industry. On behalf of the Board, it is my pleasure to extend our sincere thanks to him as a valued colleague and to wish him the very best for the future."
