On her appointment, Ann Cormack, said: “I am delighted to be joining the Board of NNL at such an important time. As nuclear enjoys a renaissance, the growth opportunities in all markets are inspiring, and NNL’s leading expertise is in greater demand than ever.
“With a strong strategy and NNL’s great capability, prioritising resources to achieve shareholder objectives whilst ensuring the next generation of expertise, will be key. I very much look forward to working with Ian, Paul and the wider Board in this next phase of the laboratory’s development.”
