Oil & Gas UK appointed Deirdre Michie as its new chief executive on 1 May 2015. Michie will replace Malcolm Webb who, following a brief handover period, formally retires on 31 May 2015.
Appointed by the board of Oil & Gas UK in February 2015, Michie will be based in Aberdeen with an office in London.
“I am really pleased to be taking on the role of Oil & Gas UK CEO. Our industry has a tough journey ahead, but I hope by working together, this sector will become stronger, safer and have a brighter future with a thriving supply chain, for decades to come,” said Michie. “Malcolm Webb’s contribution to this sector has been immense, and I will work closely with him over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition.”
“The North Sea has led the world before, and I believe that under [Michie’s] leadership, and through the guidance of our accomplished board, it can be there again,” said Webb.
Michie will outline her strategy for Oil & Gas UK and its ongoing role supporting the offshore oil and gas industry in the coming weeks.
