Ecora Resources PLC (LSE:ECOR, TSX:ECOR, OTCQX:ECRAF) has announced Andrew Webb will replace Patrick Meier as non-executive chair of the board in May.
Webb has joined Ecora as an independent non-executive director initially and will take over from Meier after May’s annual general meeting as the latter nears the end of his maximum term at the company.
“The board is delighted to welcome an individual of Andrew's quality and experience,” senior independent director Varda Shine said.
“The nomination committee, assisted by an external search firm, completed an extensive process which culminated in Andrew's appointment.”
Webb has spent most of his career at N M Rothschild & Sons as managing director, the commodity-focussed royalty group said in a statement.
He has also served on the board of Kenmare Resources and a number of private and not-for-profit entities as a non-executive director.
“I am delighted to be joining at such an exciting time in the company's evolution and look forward to working with the board to continue to make successful investments,” Webb said.
