Succession Planning

As in previous years, the Committee discussed Succession Planning for both Executives and Non-Executives.

Appointment of Additional Directors

During the year, the Committee was involved in managing the succession to the role of Regional Director, Aggreko International, in light of the impending retirement of Derek Shepherd. The Committee assessed a number of organisational options and bench-marked internal as well as external candidates. The Committee decided to ask Kash Pandya to move to Dubai to take up Derek's role and was involved in overseeing the search and selection process for Kash's successor as Regional Director, Europe and the Middle East. For this role, external search consultants were engaged and the process was completed in October 2008 with the announcement of the appointment of Bill Caplan with effect from 17 November 2008. The Committee also engaged external consultants for the appointment of Non-executive Director Russell King, which was announced on 30 January 2009.
