Directorate Change
The board of Rame (the "Board"), the international power generator and engineering company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew King, an investment banker with more than 20 years' experience in the resources sector, as a Non-executive Director with immediate effect. Furthermore, the Company announces that Bill Fisher will assume the role of Non-executive Chairman of Rame. Andrew Cameron will continue to sit on the Board as a Non-executive Director.
During his banking career, Mr. King built particular expertise in resource finance and operating within emerging markets, including Africa, Latin America and China. He has spent the last 14 years with Standard Bank in a variety of roles, including managing the Resource Banking division which encompassed all the Bank's activities in the resources sector. Most recently he was Chief Executive of Standard Bank in Asia based in Hong Kong and, prior to leaving the Bank in March 2014, he was responsible for Corporate and Investment Banking client coverage in Europe and North America. Mr. King graduated from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering and has an MBA in Finance and Strategy from the London Business School.
Tim Adams, CEO, commented:
"Andrew's experience in emerging markets and the resources industry, which forms a major part of our customer base, is highly relevant to Rame and we are delighted to gain his support, particularly in consideration of his extensive investment banking career. When our first 15MW wind farm comes online at the end of this year, we will have three revenue generating divisions in place, bolstering our investment case further, and I am confident that Andrew's city-focused expertise and broad network will be highly beneficial to the Company as we aim to increase our visibility across the London market."
