- Koobonye Ramokopelw­a

Anglo American has appointed Ian Tyler to the Board as a non- executive director and a member of the Audit and Remunerati­on committees, with effect from 1 January 2022.

According to a statement, Ian Tyler has served as Chairman of Vistry Group PLC since 2013. He has also served as a non- executive director of BAE Systems plc since 2013 and will step down from that role in May 2022. Anne Stevens and Dr Byron Grote, non- executive directors of Anglo American, will step down from the Board at Anglo American’s next Annual General Meeting ( AGM) in April 2022, having both served for nine years. Ian Tyler will succeed Anne Stevens as Chair of the Remunerati­on Committee, and Hilary Maxson, nonexecuti­ve director and member of the Audit Committee since June 2021, will succeed Byron Grote as Chair of the Audit Committee. Both committee appointmen­ts will take effect from Anglo American’s AGM in April 2022.

Commenting on the changes to the Board, Stuart Chambers, Chairman of Anglo American, said: “Ian Tyler brings a wealth of boardroom experience spanning a number of industrial sectors, including as chair of remunerati­on and audit committees. Combined with his distinguis­hed executive career at Balfour Beatty, ultimately as chief executive, Ian is well placed to bring additional insights to our Board discussion­s.” “On behalf of the Board, we thank Anne Stevens and Byron Grote for their extensive contributi­ons to the Board and the committees they chaired and on which they served. Byron’s career- long experience in the natural resources sector and Anne’s global executive and board experience across the industrial and manufactur­ing sectors have served them well in their roles on our board which they have carried out to the highest standard and with unquestion­able dedication.”
