MUMBAI, India & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2007--WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE:WNS), a leading provider of offshore business process outsourcing (BPO) services, today announced the appointment of Sir Anthony Greener to its Board of Directors.

Sir Anthony, 67, will replace Guy Sochovsky, who will retire from the Board effective July 24, 2007, and as a result, the majority of WNS' seven-member Board will be comprised of independent directors.

"We are pleased to be able to successfully conclude another of the commitments that we made during our IPO," said Neeraj Bhargava, Group Chief Executive Officer. "Sir Anthony brings to WNS an extensive background, experience and leadership that will complement our existing Board strengths and will be a terrific asset to management as WNS continues to expand globally."

Sir Anthony joins WNS after retiring from British Telecom plc (BT) in September 2006, where he served as Deputy Chairman of the Board. He was Chairman of Diageo plc through 2000, where he led the GBP 23 billion merger of Guinness plc and Grand Metropolitan plc, which was the largest merger ever in the UK at that time.

As Chief Executive of Dunhill Holdings, Sir Anthony transformed that company from a small company focused on smoking-related businesses, into a significant international luxury products group. He has also served on the Boards of Robert Mondavi, French luxury goods and drinks group Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), Reed International, and Reed Elsevier, the Anglo-Dutch publishing company

He currently serves as Chairman of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority in the United Kingdom.
