CEO Commentary
Group CEO Andrew Rowe said:
“We are pleased to welcome Nick to the Mayfield team. As we scale the business across our opportunity pipeline and
integrate two recent acquisitions, the complexity of our commercial environment is growing. Nick’s combination of top-tier
legal practice, in-house general counsel leadership and hands-on industry experience in construction and resources is
exactly the capability we need.
With Nick joining Andrew Naffin, Chris Ware and Steve Clark, the leadership team we outlined to investors during the
roadshow is now substantially in place. We have the right people to deliver on the opportunities ahead.”

Strategic Context
The GM Commercial, Legal and Risk appointment reflects the increasing scale and complexity of Mayfield’s operations as
the Company executes on its three-pillar strategy:
• Growing operational complexity: Multiple business units, two recent acquisitions (BE Switchcraft and SMEC
Power and Technology), and operations in all mainland states require dedicated commercial leadership to
optimise procurement, strengthen governance and manage contractual risk.
• M&A capability: Two acquisitions completed within twelve months demonstrate a repeatable M&A capability that
requires dedicated executive focus on origination, due diligence and integration.
• Procurement optimisation: Coordinated procurement across business units presents a significant opportunity
to improve margins and supply chain resilience as the Company scales.
• Leadership team completion: This appointment substantially completes the organisational realignment
communicated during the recent investor roadshow, with the senior leadership team now in place to deliver across
all three strategic pillars.
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Directors.
