The Just Group announced that as a result of Alison Watkins' recent appointment as CEO of Bennelong Group, Alison intends to resign from her position as a director of Just Group Limited following the release of the company's half year results in March 2008.
Alison has been a director of The Just Group since the float in 2004 and, more recently, has been Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee. On Alison's departure, the Board plans to split the Audit and Risk Committee into two separate committees.
A new director will be sought to chair the Audit Committee and Laura Anderson will chair the Risk Committee. Alison has served the board of Just Group with distinction and we wish her well with her new role.
