San Leon Energy plc announced that John Brown has joined the Board on 7 May 2021 as an independent non-executive director. Mr. Brown has more than 20 years of international experience in oil and gas and related industries, including over nine years of experience with operations in West Africa. He is a Chartered Accountant (ICAS) and was Chief Financial Officer or Group Finance Director for numerous UK listed companies within the oil and gas sector including Gulf Marine Services plc, Bowleven plc and Pittencrieff Resources plc. Upon joining the Board, Mr. Brown will chair the audit and risk committee and be a member of the nomination and remuneration committees. The company further announced that, as part of a corporate governance review previously announced and conducted in conjunction with its search for a new non-executive director, Alan Campbell, Director of Commercial & Business Development, will step down from the Board with immediate effect. This has been facilitated as part of the Board's desire to rebalance the number of executive directors and non-executive directors which, following Mr. Brown's appointment, will now be three of each.
