Change of Director
Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (the 'Company') announces that
Simon Keswick will be retiring from the Board of the Company with
effect from 1st January 2020.
Executive Chairman and Managing Director Ben Keswick said:
"Simon has been central to Jardine Matheson for over half a
century and, working closely with his brother Sir Henry Keswick,
has played a key role in the development of the Group over that
period. During his time as Chairman and Managing Director he was
instrumental in shaping the Group's structure as we know it today
and he also led the refocussing of a number of the Group's
activities, including Jardine Pacific and Dairy Farm. He has
continued to be closely involved as a director in the growth of
Jardines over subsequent decades, and especially in the
transformation of our former insurance business, Jardine Lloyd
Thompson. We wish him all the very best for the future."
Simon Keswick joined the Jardines Group in 1962 and served in
Hong Kong, North America, Japan and Singapore, before being
appointed as managing director of the Group's operations in
Australia in 1972, when he also became a Director of the Company.
He was chairman of Jardine Insurance Brokers in London from 1977 to
1982, when he returned to Hong Kong to become managing director for
Jardines' international operations. He was Chairman and Managing
Director of the Group from 1983 to 1987. He is also a Director of
Dairy Farm International Limited, Hongkong Land Holdings Limited,
Mandarin Oriental International Limited and Jardine Strategic
Holdings Limited, and will step down from these boards at the same
time.
