Eurostar chairman to step down
Eurostar International has named Clare Hollingsworth as chairman.
She will succeed Richard Brown who has decided to step down from the Board when his three year term as chairman comes to an end on June 30.
Brown joined Eurostar as chief executive in 2002 and became chairman in 2010.
The group said his decision to step down “accompanies his decision earlier this year to become chairman of the Department for Transport’s Franchise Advisory Panel in addition to his other non-executive roles”.
Hollingsworth joined the Board of Eurostar as an independent non-executive director in 2010.
She is also on the boards of Savills, the real estate advisor, Virgin Healthcare, Molnlycke AB, a Swedish medical technology company and Spire Healthcare.
Prior to her non-executive roles she was CEO of Spire Healthcare and its predecessor business, BUPA Hospitals.
Before Spire Healthcare she was MD for Caledonian Airways.
Brown said: "It has been a great privilege to be at the heart of Eurostar’s growth and expansion over the last decade but the time is right for me to hand over the reins.’
