New directors have been named as: Simon Gibb; Kevin Illingworth; Dick Lagerweij; Donald Martin; Mike Pettigrew; Will Rowley; Ron van der Laan and Tiana Walker; and Andrew Sneddon has been re-elected as director to the board.

“I am delighted to be welcoming our directors – both new and re-elected – to the Decom North Sea board. We will be working closely together over the coming year, driving forward our key objective of an efficient and cost-effective North Sea decommissioning industry,” Decom North Sea Chief Executive Roger Esson said.

The board of Decom North Sea (DNS) has undergone a dramatic change as 12 members have simultaneously resigned and been replaced by eight new ones.

A spokeswoman for the group, which is hosting a conference in St Andrews attended by more 400 than, admitted there are more new members joining the board than there has been in prior years and said that “many” of the departing board members have retired from their roles in industry and have done the same at the trade body.

Overall the board has slimmed down from 16 members to 11.
