Sept 2 (Reuters) – BP has appointed Ian Tyler, former CEO of building group Balfour Beatty as its permanent chairman, it said on Wednesday, having fired Albert Manifold in May after less than a year in the position, citing governance and conduct concerns.
Board member Amanda Blanc who oversaw both Manifold’s and Tyler’s appointments will not seek re-election at next year’s annual general meeting and will step down once a successor for her has been found, BP said.
