Melanie Gee, a non-executive at Weir Group who also chairs the Glasgow-based engineer’s remuneration committee, is joining the board of Drax, owner of the UK’s largest coal-fired power station, next month.
Gee is managing director of UK investment banking at Lazard and joined Weir last year.
Charles Berry, chairman of Yorkshire-based Drax, said: “Her experience and expertise will be a valuable addition and will further strengthen the board. This appointment also demonstrates Drax’s commitment towards achieving greater board diversity”.
