Richemont, the Swiss luxury goods group, announces the retirement of Mr Piet Beyers effective 30 June 2007. Mr Beyers, Marketing Services Director, will step down from his position as a member of the Board of Directors of Richemont SA, the Group's management board.

Mr Beyers joined the Board of Richemont SA in 2000, with broad responsibility for marketing intelligence and related advisory services to the Group's Maisons. He will not be replaced on the board of Richemont SA.

His role as head of the Marketing Services Department will be taken over by Ms Anne Dellière, who has worked with him in the department since 2003.

Mr Johann Rupert, Richemont Executive Chairman, said:
“I have worked with Piet over the last 10 years both at Rothmans and at Richemont. He has been an innovative thinker, a trusted advisor and a good friend."

"We will all miss his insight into both the luxury industry in general and, in particular, his critical analysis of the approach taken to marketing luxury products by companies both inside and outside the Group. We wish Piet all the best for a very long and enjoyable retirement.”
