Report of the Nominations committee

The Nominations committee's activities during 2006 covered executive and non executive succession and appointments. 2006 saw the appointment of both an executive director, Tom Albanese, and a non executive director, Michael Fitzpatrick, as well as the appointment of Bret Clayton as Tom Albanese's successor as chief executive, Copper, followed by the announcement in December 2006 of Tom's succession as chief executive in May 2007.

Michael Fitzpatrick is an Australian independent director, who brings extensive Australian and international business experience to the board.

A short biography of each committee member is set out on the Management overview.

As part of his annual performance assessment of individual directors, Paul Skinner, who is chairman of the Nominations committee, has also reviewed the time committed by directors to Group business and confirmed this to be appropriate in each case.
