Tim will join the Quilter Board Risk Committee, Board Remuneration Committee and Board Corporate
Governance and Nominations Committee.
Glyn Jones, Chairman of the Board, comments:
“I am delighted Tim has agreed to join the Quilter board. Tim brings a unique blend of experience and
expertise as a former CEO in a highly successful FTSE 100 savings and pensions business, and as a
