Endeavour Mining PLC (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) announced it has appointed Cathia Lawson-Hall to its board as an independent non-executive director and member of its remuneration committee.
Among other changes to its board, the company said senior independent director Ian Cockerill has moved to deputy chair, while Alison Baker, currently an independent non-executive director and chair of the audit committee, will succeed Cockerill as senior independent director.
Following the changes, Endeavour said its board complies in advance with the UK Financial Conduct Authority's positive diversity targets for listed companies.

"She brings considerable strategic and financing experience and significant knowledge of the African business environment. We look forward to welcoming her as an integral member of our Board to support the business as it continues to grow.”
