(Alliance News) - Rolls-Royce Holdigns PLC on Tuesday said it has hired Jorg Stratmann as its new chief executive of Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG.
Stratmann will join the engineering group on November 15, reporting to CEO Warren East as part of the wider executive team. Current Rolls-Royce Power Systems CEO Andreas Schell will leave to become CEO of energy company EnBW Energie Baden-Wurttemberg AG the same day.
Stratmann was most recently CEO and chair of automotive supplier Mahle GmbH.
"In this role, he significantly expanded the business outside the area of combustion engines towards customised solutions for e-mobility and successfully developed new business opportunities based on sustainable technologies for global markets," Rolls-Royce said.
He has also previously held "various international positions" at Munich-based Siemens AG.
The company added that Tufan Erginbilgic, who will take over as Rolls-Royce CEO from the start of 2023, was closely involved in the recruitment process.
Rolls-Royce named Erginbilgic as its new CEO back in July.
Erginbilgic is currently a partner at Global Infrastructure Partners, a private equity firm which focuses on large-scale investments in infrastructure businesses. He has also spent over 20 years at BP PLC, including five as part of its executive team.
Commenting on Stratmann's appointment, CEO East said: "He brings with him extensive experience of the energy transition and how it opens up valuable growth opportunities, which will benefit the whole group. He also has a record of driving operational performance and efficiency improvements, which will assist Power Systems as it continues to sharpen its focus on the profitability of the core MTU business."
MTU is a brand of Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG. MTU high-speed engines and propulsion systems provide power for marine, rail, power generation, oil and gas, agriculture, mining, construction and industrial, and defence applications.
Shares in Rolls-Royce were up 0.3% to 76.01 pence each in London on Tuesday around midday.

Conger2 - try looking at Press releases in the media section of the website which gives in depth coverage of company activities, new orders, developments etc. It's not necessary to report everything by RNS.
Here's one to get you started and point you in the right direction ...

in4cedros, good to see you still haunting the board as the witching season approaches. You seem to have decided to devote your life to defending CEG from the likes of 12bn on the other forum and now it's anyone on here who dares to suggest that the future is not bright for this lifestyle company. Are you onboard as a spin doctor perchance?
As for your question to JohnBriggs, "What are your expectations for the results and what will be the impact, going forwards!", I'll be very interested to see if any liability to PRD disappears from the accounts. CFO suddenly resigns and accounts are being filed late yet again. All very strange if you ask me but then this company in all its incarnations has never failed to disappoint in this respect.
I hope you are well and not spending every waking moment dwelling on how to protect your investment, assuming you are invested. Perhaps you should take up snorkelling and write a blog. There are so many strange characters here for such a small company. They seem to appear out of nowhere, stay for a while then disappear into the ether, possibly to be reincarnated under a different moniker. Each to their own I suppose, whatever floats your boat!
This is a fleeting visit so I'm unlikely to respond for a while, if ever. I only look in from time to time out of mild curiosity. ATB

Woo’s Hero programming includes:
The Bigger Trip directed by Kate Villevoye 11.05.22
We are in the middle of a psychedelic revolution. After two years of lockdowns, Gen Z are getting into their minds rather than out of them. In this bold new series, Woo sends host Emma Breschi on a mission to find out both the legal and DIY ways Gen Z are using psychedelics to change their perspectives in the midst of the uncertain times we live in.
Nature’s Calling directed by Luke Casey 26.04.22
87% of Gen-Z feel anxious about something in their daily lives, but is one of the antidotes to the mental health crisis already on our doorstep? In a pioneering new comedy series — with a hyper stylised aesthetic — TikTok superstar Oatmilk Leader [Mary Steven] and musician Niko B ditch the city to forge an unexpected new relationship with the outdoors. From wild swimming in icy waters to naturism in rural Wales; our two hosts discover the secret power of the natural world.
Life in Love directed by Abel Rubinstein 07.06.22
This epic, structured documentary series using real couples aims to capture the real ways Gen Z are falling in and out of love. So much of mainstream media puts a focus on devices being the place that Gen Z find love, but Life in Love shows that physical, IRL connections are just as important. In the age of Euphoria, Life in Love offers a different, intimate and honest look at love for this generation
As well as being streamed on ITV Hub, Woo’s Hero video content will be distributed across its social channels and at the newly launched woo.itv.com. Each hero show will be supported with a wider editorial experience including think pieces, shoppable content, and interviews.

Launching this week, from the team behind VICE, i-D, Boiler Room and LADbible comes Woo – the new media culture brand on a mission to make wellness relatable and culturally relevant, for Gen Z.
Backed in a long-term partnership by ITV’s Studio 55 initiative, which invests in business ideas aimed specifically at younger audiences, Woo purpose is to redefine wellness for an entire generation, via social channels, podcasts, video, editorial and products.
Manifesting as a mix of digitally-led editorial content and from later this year, a marketplace filled with products that make you feel good, Woo will live across a social digital ecosystem of podcasts, editorial, products and video — with key video content streaming on Woo channels as well ITV Hub.
Woo’s content will explore the cultural touch-points Gen Z care about the most (fashion, art, music, film, sex and relationships, drugs and mental health) all through the lens of wellbeing. Featuring talent including Niko B (YouTube music sensation), Oatmilk Leader (TikTok star amassing over 20m likes and counting), and Emma Breschi (Activist, Model, Image Maker and UK Changemaker for UN Women) Woo has assembled some of the most forward-thinking directors and production companies on hero programming.
Stephen Mai, Woo CEO and Founder, said: “At its core Woo is a feel good movement designed to be the antidote to the toxic new cycle. Here to make wellness a part of youth culture. We want our Gen-Z audience to engage with wellness in the same way they do music, art or fashion. We know Gen Z are anxious and the wellness industry doesn't know how to speak to them. The ideas and products we talk about on Woo are built to enhance and inspire people’s lives in the same way a musical festival or art exhibition does. Our intention is not about driving clicks, but to drive solutions to mass audiences who have been ignored for too long… but having fun while we do it.
"We plan on doing this by disrupting the content, distribution and business models that are no longer working. A new media business cannot survive on advertising alone and building social communities has become dark art. With a team full of industry disruptors and our community of young creators we will reimagine a digital cultural proposition for today’s consumption habits. Let's turn generation anxious into generation zen.”
Dan Colton, ITV Group Strategy Director, said: “Woo is an innovative Gen Z culture brand that is rethinking the media model for 16-34s. It mixes great storytelling with genuine purpose. Stephen has a track record of creating transformative and award-winning impactful campaigns for brands like LADbible, VICE, i-D and Boiler Room. We are very excited about him building a new youth-centric digital proposition that will bring new audiences into ITV as well as creating a completely new type of storytelling.”

Tom ... "nobody expected Carolyn to go at the first AGM. This may take time. Us activist investors are happy to keep the pressure on."
Carolyn received 99.95% of the vote to re-elect her so I feel you are chasing a lost cause. Your masters won't be pleased with your efforts to maintain their short position. You had better hope they don't get burnt in a short squeeze which could occur at any time despite your efforts to talk this down.
LONDON, April 27 (Reuters) – Britain will set out the details of the sale of Channel 4, the publicly owned but commercially funded broadcaster established in the 1980s, in a policy paper on Thursday, minister Julia Lopez told lawmakers.
Channel 4 was created by Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher's government to provide an edgy alternative to the BBC and ITV, with a focus on under-served audiences.
With no in-house production capability, the broadcaster was the biggest driver in establishing Britain's thriving independent production sector.
The broadcaster's management, lawmakers across parliament and a slew of TV heavyweights have voiced their opposition to a sale, saying it would jeopardise the channel's distinctive voice. ...
Lopez said public service broadcasters like Channel 4 delivered high-quality content, but the television industry had changed beyond recognition in recent years with the rise of the U.S. streaming giants.
"Tomorrow we will be publishing a White Paper that proposes major reforms to our decades-old broadcasting regulations, reforms that will put traditional broadcasters like the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 on an even playing field with Netflix, Amazon Prime and others," Lopez, Britain's Media, Data, and Digital Infrastructure minister, said.
"The sale of Channel 4 is just one part of that major piece of reform." She said the broadcaster had "few options to grow, to invest and to compete" under public ownership.
"This government believes its time to unleash the broadcaster's full potential and open Channel 4 up to private ownership and investment, while crucially protecting its public service broadcasting remit," she said.

Srdoddy didn't post this article but must have read it, hence his comments about carbon credits.
Pm: Carbon Credit Drive To ‘Supplant’ Oil Drilling
Extract ...
The Prime Minister yesterday suggested The Bahamas’ efforts to extract value from carbon credits will “supplant” oil exploration and extraction as a potential future multi-million dollar revenue source.
Philip Davis QC, speaking at his office’s weekly press conference, said oil drilling was “not on our radar, not in our contemplation” as his administration focused in on the potential earnings stream from “monetising” this nation’s “blue carbons” that lie in the ocean via mangroves, wetlands and coral reefs.
What we are pursuing right now is monetising our blue carbon credits. We’ll see how that works. The way I see it working, the question of oil drilling and oil extraction will be supplanted by the monetisation of our blue carbons.”
Mr Davis’ comments yesterday are the strongest indication to-date that the Government is moving away from permitting future oil exploration in Bahamian waters, and were immediately hailed by environmental activists although they wanted the administration to go even further by legislating of announcing a permanent ban on such activities.
Rashema Ingraham, of Waterkeepers Bahamas, branded the Prime Minister’s remarks as “fantastic news” and told Tribune Business: “We would like to congratulate the Prime Minister on making such a bold statement to the Bahamian people, as well as to any investor or financial group that may be looking at The Bahamas and making determinations as to the future, and how the future will look for investing in The Bahamas.
Less pleased is likely to be Challenger Energy Group, the former Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC), which in its latest corporate presentation last month reiterated that it is still seeking to renew the four licences it holds in this nation’s waters for another three years.
It added that this would be the third of four three-year licence terms, which collectively span 12 years, and added that it is “addressing entry into a third exploration period” with its application said to be “pending”.
The suspicion is, though, that Challenger will only drill a second exploratory well in this nation if it can find a joint venture partner to share the bulk of the financial and technical load, and that its real goal is to monetise or get a return on its long history and investment in The Bahamas after its Perseverance One well failed to strike commercial oil quantities.

The fund was incorrectly made available on Quilter’s platform for more than a year.
By Nicola Blackburn
06 Apr, 2022 at 15:44
Several advisers have been asked to remove an Abrdn emerging markets fund from their portfolios after it was incorrectly made available to them on Quilter’s platform for more than a year.
Some advisers that hold the K share class of the £31m Abrdn Emerging Markets Sustainable Development Equity fund in their model portfolios have been asked to remove it before accepting any new investments.
The share class of the fund has been widely available on Quilter’s platform since February 2021 due to an ‘oversight’ from Abrdn, according to Quilter.
A letter from Quilter sent to advisers, seen by Citywire New Model Adviser, explained that the share class should have been restricted to institutional investors and some ‘approved’ advisers only.
‘When the... fund was added to the Quilter platform, we were advised the fund could be fully available,’ the letter said.
‘Aberdeen Standard recently notified us that this was an oversight on their part, as the ‘K’ share class is restricted to “institutional” investors only.
‘As a result, investment into the fund needs to be restricted to approved advisers and their clients only.’
Seven investors and four advisers in the fund who were not invested via an ‘approved adviser’ have been given the deadline of 27 April 2022 to either redeem their holdings or switch to another fund on Quilter’s platform.
Investors will receive a lump sum based on the value of their cash holdings on this date if no other investment is chosen.
The strategy was opened in November 2020 and is a sub-fund of the European SICAV version of the fund. It also offers an X share class for investments in pound sterling, available to investment advisers ‘approved by the management company’, though this is not offered on Quilter’s platform.
The fund has reported one-year returns of -9.3%, according to Citywire data.
Abrdn declined to comment when approached by NMA.

I would suggest the trolls and P1 Huggers actually read the RNS - Saffron 2 is huge with 30 wells over the next 18 months to be drilled and with the oil price $69.27 and rising this is what we have been wait for. Come back in 18 months and tell me different.
