Michael Beckett, outgoing Chair, said: “The Board is enormously grateful for the insights that Ms Bianchi has brought to the Board of Directors, and for the dedication she has shown in performing her many committee roles, as well as her extremely valuable contribution to the Company’s governance processes while implementing its 2021 LSE listing, and in leading the search for my successor which has now reached a successful conclusion with the appointment of Venkat. I would also like to record the gratitude of the entire Board for the dedication and expertise that Dr Letton has contributed to the Board. She has impeccable credentials and expertise as an operational and technical mining professional, and the Board has benefited from her considerable experience. The Board wishes both Ms Bianchi and Dr Letton every success in the future.”
Chair Elect, Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan, said “I wholeheartedly echo the Board’s gratitude for Ms Bianchi and Dr Letton’s contributions to the Company. I believe a Board of nine directors, with half the Board (excluding the independent Chair) comprising independent directors, appropriately balances size and compliance with UK corporate governance best practice. I look forward to working with the Board once I assume the Chair role.”
