ICAEW chair and non-exec directors reappointed to board

The ICAEW has approved the reappointment of chair Peter Wyman for a second three-year term starting in October 2026. 

Non-executive board members Shamshad Ali, Richard Nunn and Mary Phibbs will also continue in their roles for a second three-year term from June 2026.

The appointments come as the organisation continues to implement its strategy 2030 project. Wyman was first appointed as the first independent chair of the board in 2023.

President Derek Blair said: “Since Peter’s appointment as the first independent Chair of ICAEW’s board in 2023, we have hugely benefited from the expertise, insights, and energy that he has bought to the role.

“We look forward to working with Peter over the next three-and-a-half years as ICAEW continues to implement its Strategy 2030 Direction. Thank you to our three non-executive board members, Shamshad Ali, Richard Nunn and Mary Phibbs, for their continuing support of ICAEW.”

Wyman added: “The current economic and geo-political environment is putting significant pressure on business, and I am glad to be able to continue supporting ICAEW’s work to make sure the voice of business is heard in government and elsewhere.

“At the same time, the rapid advances in AI pose opportunities and challenges for everyone, and the Board is focused on supporting our members in responding, while also focusing on future proofing the accountancy profession.”
