SCOTTISHPOWER REAPPOINTS NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

 

ScottishPower today announced the return of Philip Carroll jnr to its Board as a Non-executive Director, five months after he temporarily resigned to help rebuild the infrastructure of post-war Iraq.

 

Mr Carroll, whose appointment takes immediate effect, left in May this year when he was appointed head of an advisory board overseeing the Iraqi Oil Ministry.

 

ScottishPower Chairman Charles Miller Smith said: “Philip Carroll was appointed to our Board because of his wide experience of the US and international energy and engineering sectors and I am delighted to welcome him back.”

 

Mr Carroll joined ScottishPower in January 2002.
