Vast Resources PLC (AIM:VAST) has announced the formal appointment of Andrew Hall to the board as commercial director with immediate effect.
Hall’s new role will focus on strategic business initiatives, capital raising, managing offtake relationships as well as leading the company’s external and investor communications.
Before joining the AIM-listed mining company in December 2018, Hall previously worked at a natural resources focussed merchant bank where he established and managed the alternative finance distribution business covering asset managers, private equity, investment banks, family offices and trading houses.
Hall’s new role will allow Andrew Prelea, Vast chief executive, to concentrate on his key operations.
“I am confident that [Hall’s] experience in the equity capital and finance markets generally will prove valuable in his expanded role as the company’s spokesperson, leading investor communications,” said chair Brian Moritz.
At the same time, Roy Tucker has relinquished his executive functions but remains a non-executive director at the request of the board.
