Manson said: “I look forward to continuing to work with the board and management of Urenco, a company at the heart of the global nuclear energy industry and which plays a key role in ensuring security of supply and fulfilment of climate change goals.
“This is an exciting time for Urenco as it expands operations in its core business at each of its sites and develops advanced fuels capacities as well as stable and medical isotopes.”
Urenco recently received a £196 million grant to build a uranium enrichment plant in Cheshire.
