FDM Group names Alan Kinnear as new board chair

LONDON - FDM Group (Holdings) plc announced Wednesday the appointment of Alan Kinnear as Non-Executive Chair of the Board effective July 30, 2025. Kinnear will succeed David Lister, who is retiring after serving on the board since March 2016, including as Chair since March 2019.

Kinnear, who joined FDM’s board in January 2020 as an independent Non-Executive Director, currently chairs the Audit Committee. His appointment follows a selection process led by the Nomination Committee that considered both internal and external candidates.

With 35 years at PwC, including 23 years as an audit partner, Kinnear brings experience working with listed and private equity-backed companies. He was previously a member of PwC’s Southeast regional board and led national audit services in the private equity sector.

As part of the board restructuring, Rowena Murray will replace Kinnear as Chair of the Audit Committee while continuing her role as Chair of the Remuneration Committee. Murray, who joined the board in August 2023, has a background in corporate law and previously served as a director in Investec (LON:INVP) Bank’s Investment Banking division.

"Despite the market headwinds which have persisted over the last two years, FDM Group remains a dynamic business with a proven track-record," Kinnear said in the press release statement.

FDM Group is a global professional services provider focusing on Information Technology. The company announced it will undertake a search for a new Non-Executive Director, with further announcements to follow.
