London: BP has appointed Ian Tyler, former CEO of building group Balfour Beatty, as its permanent chair, it said on Wednesday, after it fired Albert Manifold in May, citing governance and conduct concerns.
Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director, who oversaw 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.
