Future plc (LSE:FUTR) has announced a series of board leadership changes following its annual general meeting. Former Senior Independent Director Mark Brooker has been appointed chair and head of the nomination committee, succeeding Richard Huntingford, who has stepped down. Alan Newman has taken on the role of Senior Independent Director while continuing as chair of the audit and risk committee. Angela Seymour-Jackson has been appointed chair of the remuneration committee alongside her existing position as chair of Go.Compare, with Ivana Kirkbride also joining that committee.
The changes represent a refresh of governance across several key oversight roles. At the AGM itself, shareholders approved all 21 resolutions with strong majorities, with around 75% of the issued share capital voting. The level of participation and support was seen as a clear endorsement of the company’s governance framework and overall strategic direction.
From a market perspective, the company’s outlook remains mixed. Financial performance continues to face pressure from declining revenue and profitability, while technical indicators point to ongoing bearish momentum. These headwinds are partly offset by a valuation that suggests the shares may be undervalued and by strategic initiatives outlined at the most recent earnings update, which offer some potential upside if execution improves.
