SIMEC Atlantis Energy Limited announce the appointment of Duncan Black as a Non-Executive Director, with immediate effect, and the appointment of Stephen Hodges as Special Adviser to the Atlantis Board of Directors. The Company confirms that, further to the announcement on 27 July 2020, Ian Wakelin has now stepped down from his non-executive Board position. Duncan brings a wealth of experience in leading investment groups, advisory firms and power companies within the UK, Asia and Australia. Duncan has formerly held the positions of Co-Head, Infrastructure Investment, at Eastspring Investments (part of Prudential plc), Asia Head of Acquisitions at Deutsche Asset Management, CFO of CLP Holdings' Australian electricity and gas utility business, EnergyAustralia, and Head of Finance and Development at InterGen in Asia Pacific. Having previously held the position of CFO of Atlantis, and a NED of the Board up until 2018, Duncan has a deep understanding of the Company, while his contacts and knowledge of the Asian power and infrastructure markets will allow Atlantis to pursue expansion opportunities presented by our project partners in Japan and South Korea. Duncan will also take up the position of chair of the Audit Committee, a committee on which he served previously, and a member of the Nomination Committee, where he will bring significant experience and expertise. Stephen is a waste sector specialist who most recently held the position of Director of Engineering at Viridor Waste Management Ltd. His knowledge of the UK waste and waste to energy sector will be very valuable to both the Board of Directors in his role as Special Advisor as well as to the Executive Management Team as a member of the Technical Committee.
