JT ANNOUNCES NEW CHAIRMAN<br />
JT Group has announced that one of the UK’s leading<br />
technologists, Phil Male, has succeeded John Stares<br />

of JT since 2011, and previously chaired the Group’s<br />
nomination committee, as well as sitting on its audit and<br />
remuneration committees. He has been at the forefront<br />
of the technology, media, and telecommunications<br />
sector for almost 30 years, founded two successful<br />
start-ups, completed two listings on the London Stock<br />
Exchange, and held executive roles at some of the<br />
sector’s leading firms.<br />
Graeme Millar, Chief Executive Officer of JT, said: 'Phil<br />
becomes Chairman at an exciting time for JT, as we<br />
deliver on our promise to be ‘always on, always there<br />
and always enabling.’ We now have a clear structure in<br />
place to develop both locally and internationally, bringing<br />
new products and services to a growing global audience<br />
while never losing sight of our Channel Island home.<br />
Phil’s guidance will be invaluable to me and the executive<br />
team at this strategically important time for the business.'<br />
