Mr. Angelici brings to the Board wide ranging international experience in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.

A French citizen, Mr. Angelici sits on the Supervisory Board of Wolters Kluwer, a Dutch-based information services and publishing company, and is Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Reims Management School.

Smiths Chairman Donald Brydon said: “I am delighted to welcome such a distinguished international executive on to the Board of Smiths Group. The Company will benefit greatly from Bruno’s wide business experience and global perspective, particularly in the healthcare-related market.”
Other than his present membership of the Supervisory Board of Wolters Kluwer NV, a publicly quoted company listed on Euronext Amsterdam, and his former non-executive directorship of Allied Domecq plc between 2003 and 2005, which was then a publicly quoted company, there is no other information concerning Mr Angelici which requires notification under LR 9.6.13 R of the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority.
