LSE-listed Kenmare Resources has appointed Andrew Webb nonexecutive director and chairperson designate.

Webb was appointed to the board on December 2 and is expected to succeed Steven McTiernan as chairperson. McTiernan will step down from the board following the company’s 2022 annual general meeting, having completed a nine-year term on the board.

Webb’s appointment follows a thorough evaluation and succession process led by the nominations committee, in conjunction with independent executive search firm, The Effective Board.

Webb brings significant financial and natural resources experience to the Kenmare board, as well as valuable commercial expertise, insight and strategic leadership, the miner said on December 3.
