London, 21 March 2016 The IR Society and CAGE salute the winner of the inaugural Roddy Child-Villiers Investor Relations Award The IR Society and the Consumer Analyst Group of Europe (CAGE) are delighted that Richard Joyce, Reckitt Benckiser’s Director of Investor Relations, has won the inaugural Roddy Child-Villiers Investor Relations Award a.k.a. “The Roddy”. This prize (photograph overleaf), initiated by CAGE in association with the IR Society, honours one of the industry’s pre-eminent investor relations executives who sadly passed away in 2014, aged 50. Roddy Child-Villiers was key to the founding and development of CAGE, and this new award seeks to perpetuate and promote the professional and human characteristics that Roddy combined so effortlessly and seamlessly during his time as Head of Investor Relations for multinational food company Nestlé. The Roddy has been awarded in 2016 to Richard Joyce because of the candidate’s outstanding demonstration of five key characteristics exemplified by Roddy: competence, communication, character, humanity and personality. John Gollifer, General Manager of the IR Society, said, “We are delighted to be associated with the new Roddy Child-Villiers Investor Relations Award. Roddy was a redoubtable support and advocate for professional investor relations, and this award recognises outstanding individuals for their significant contribution to the industry on a human as well as professional level. Congratulations to Richard Joyce!” Richard Joyce said, “It is a great honour to receive this new prestigious award and to be recognised alongside Roddy, who was a great champion of IR and one of life’s true gentlemen.” James Amoroso, President, Consumer Analyst Group of Europe, said, “Richard Joyce is a worthy winner of the inaugural Roddy award, as nominated by our sell-side and buy-side members. He stood out clearly from the other 55 nominees. Roddy would have been pleased to know that the award is going to a loyal CAGE Corporate Member, and that through this award his life’s work will have an ongoing positive influence on the profession that he loved.” For further information, contact: The Investor Relations Society John Gollifer – General Manager +44 20 7379 1763 Laura Hayter – Head of Policy and Communications +44 20 7379 1763 The Consumer Analyst Group of Europe James Amoroso – President +41 41 758 26 72
