Mon, 26th Nov 2018 13:10

LONDON (Alliance News) - Oxford Instruments PLC, which distributes components and tools for X-rays, superconductors and research tools, said Monday it has appointed Neil Carson as non-executive chairman, effective December 1.

Carson was chief executive of Johnson Matthey PLC for 10 years until September 2014. He currently is chairman of TT Electronics PLC and deputy chairman at TI Fluid Systems PLC.

"Following the sad passing of Alan Thomson in July, we have undertaken a comprehensive process resulting in the selection of Neil Carson as chairman. Neil has a proven track record of delivering growth in both executive and non-executive positions. His experience will help us to further build on the Horizon strategy and achieve our goals," Interim Chairman Stephen Blair said.

Blair will revert back to the senior independent director post.

Shares in Oxford Instruments were flat at 850.00 pence each on Monday afternoon.
