With a degree in engineering and a clear focus on ESG, Williams has a strong track record of creating value for customers, shareholders, employees, and communities.

Sir George Buckley, the outgoing Chair, said, “It has been a privilege to serve as Chair, and I look forward to watching this special company continue to flourish in the future.” In his remarks, Steve Williams expressed his excitement at the prospect of joining Smiths’ Board and working with Paul Keel, the Chief Executive Officer, and the rest of the Board to help deliver on the Company’s strategic goals of growth, execution, and people.

As a global business headquartered in the UK, Smiths is pleased that Steve shares its British heritage and global outlook. Paul Keel, the CEO, thanked George for his contributions to Smiths and welcomed Steve Williams to the Board, expressing his confidence that the Company’s strong momentum would continue under Williams’ leadership.
