NDA chief executive David Peattie said: 鈥淚 am delighted to welcome Lawrie as chair designate of the new Magnox Ltd board. His contribution will be invaluable in establishing the new leadership team as it takes over from the outgoing team.
鈥淗is unique blend of experience in both the private and public sector, and particularly his extensive knowledge of the nuclear industry, will greatly enhance the Magnox leadership team as they get to grips with the challenges of dealing with the nuclear legacy. The focus of the new company鈥檚 leadership, with Lawrie at its head, will be to ensure safe decommissioning progress while delivering value for the UK taxpayer.鈥�
