Ltd.\u00a0 He was formerly Chief Executive of BAA plc and Chairman of HMRC and has held a number of senior executive positions at Procter &amp; Gamble.<\/p>\n<p>Mike will take up his role as Chairman of Coats plc on 1 September 2013, taking over from existing Chairman, Mike Allen, who will remain on the Coats Board as a Non-Executive Director.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the appointment, Rob Campbell, Chairman of GPG, stated \u201cMike Clasper\u2019s appointment as Chairman of Coats plc is part of the transition announced previously whereby GPG will be renamed as Coats plc at the point when GPG shareholders\u2019 investment is predominantly represented by the Coats business. \u00a0He brings a wealth of experience to the management of a diverse business like Coats and to the development of its international activities and brands.\u00a0 The GPG Board and I are confident that Mike will successfully lead the future Group through its next phase. \u00a0The timing of this appointment coincides with the near completion of the GPG asset disposal programme and simplification of the investment activity of the Group.\u00a0 While the previously announced UK Pension Regulator review has impacted and will continue to impact on completing the transition, further progress is being made to reduce costs and simplify GPG\u2019s structure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on his appointment, Mike Clasper stated \u201cI am very pleased to be joining Coats at this exciting stage of its evolution.\u00a0 Coats is a truly global business with strong market positions and good opportunities for profitable growth.\u00a0 \u00a0I am looking forward to working with the Board and management as the business makes the transition to being a standalone listed company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GPG announces the appointment of Mike Clasper CBE as Non-Executive Chairman of its wholly owned
