Melrose Industries names Alison Goligher as Non-Executive Director

LONDON - Melrose (LON:MRON) Industries PLC announced today the appointment of Alison Goligher as a Non-Executive Director and the new Chair of its Remuneration Committee, effective immediately. Goligher brings extensive experience from her previous non-executive roles in various companies, including United Utilities Group PLC (OTC:UUGRY) and Technip (EPA:FTI) Energies NV.

With a background that includes 17 years at Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) and a decade at Royal Dutch Shell, Goligher has a strong track record in executive management and operational roles across the globe.

Melrose Industries, known for its focus on civil and defense aerospace technology, is expected to benefit from Goligher’s leadership and experience as it continues to deliver for its stakeholders.
