Nick Donaldson will become non-executive chairman of Games Workshop on Tom Kirby’s retirement. Nick has been a non-executive director of Games Workshop since April 2002.

As non-executive chairman one of Nick’s key responsibilities will be to lead a review of the composition of the Company’s board and to set in motion a process to appoint new non-executive directors of the Company.”

Note that this announcement came ONE DAY after the phenomenal 2016-2017 annual report from GW. Kirby has been at the helm of GW for decades and this move heralds a true turning of the page for the company.
