Fletcher Building Leadership and Board announcement


Auckland, 14 February 2024: Fletcher Building Ltd (“Fletcher Building” or “the

Company”) today announces that Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ross Taylor

has given notice to the Board of his retirement and that as part of a Board renewal

review being undertaken, Chairman Bruce Hassall will step down from the Board at

the Company’s Annual Shareholders Meeting later this year.


An international and domestic search for a new Group CEO will be progressed,

leveraging the Company’s succession plan. The search process will be led by Non-

Executive Director Barbara Chapman who Chairs the Company’s People and

Remuneration Committee.


Mr Taylor has a six-month notice period, which he will serve in full if required, to

facilitate an orderly handover to his successor.


Fletcher Building Chairman Mr Bruce Hassall said, “The Board, Ross and I believe it

is in the best interests of the business and the team that he handover to a new leader

and that I hand over to a new Chair at the time of the ASM in October.”


The Board thanks Bruce and Ross for their leadership and contribution since 2017.

During this period, they have led the turnaround of Fletcher Building which has seen

the core businesses becoming more focused and profitable, with improved

earnings, margins and returns. The Company has a growth strategy in place and is

focussed on progressing the close out of construction legacy projects and

developing an industry solution for the Perth plumbing issue.


Mr Taylor said, “Fletcher Building is a great business, and it has been an honour and

pleasure to have the opportunity to work with such a committed team of people. I

remain committed to the business and facilitating a smooth and orderly transition to

my successor who will be able to focus on leading the organisation through the next

strategy cycle and beyond.”
