The
BP plc Board announces that Ben Mathews is to be BP's new company
secretary. David Jackson, the current company secretary, will
retire at the end of 2018.
Mr
Mathews will take up his post in the Spring. For the interim and
with effect from 1 January 2019, Jens Bertelsen, currently deputy
secretary, will serve as company secretary. The Board expects to
formally appoint Mr Mathews ahead of the company's AGM in
May.
Mr
Mathews is currently the Group Company Secretary of HSBC Holdings
plc, a post that he has held for nearly six years. He was
previously the Group Company Secretary of Rio Tinto and, prior to
that, of BG Group plc.
Helge
Lund, who will chair the BP Board from 1 Jan 2019,
said:
"Ben
has a strong track record as a company secretary, shares our values
and is a great advocate of corporate governance. He has extensive
experience in our industry and in global business, having worked
with Rio Tinto and BG. I and all the Board look forward to working
with him.
"We
would all like to thank David Jackson for his many services to the
BP Board since his appointment in 2003."
