Oil firm Northern Petroleum has announced Keith Bush as the company’s new managing director.
The 43-year-old, who joined Northern last year as chief operating officer, was previously general manager for operations with E.On Ruhrgas in Norway.
He joins following the retirement of Derek Musgrove, who had been managing director since 1999, and chairman Richard Latham.
Bush had been working alongside Musgrove ahead of taking the post to prepare for a smooth transition into the role.
“I am pleased to be building upon more than a decade of work by Derek and Richard and developing a company with such an exciting future,” said Bush.
The company said the selection process for a new chairman is still ongoing.
