Ian Tyler has served as chairman of Vistry Group PLC since 2013. He has also served as a non-executive director of BAE Systems plc since 2013 and will step down from that role in May 2022.

Anne Stevens and Dr Byron Grote, non-executive directors of Anglo American, will step down from the Board at Anglo American’s next Annual General Meeting (AGM) in April 2022, having both served for nine years.

Ian Tyler will succeed Anne Stevens as Chair of the Remuneration Committee, and Hilary Maxson, non-executive director and member of the Audit Committee since June 2021, will succeed Byron Grote as Chair of the Audit Committee. Both committee appointments will take effect from Anglo American’s AGM in April 2022.

Commenting on the changes to the Board, Stuart Chambers, Chairman of Anglo American, says, “Ian Tyler brings a wealth of boardroom experience spanning a number of industrial sectors, including as chair of remuneration and audit committees. Combined with his distinguished executive career at Balfour Beatty, ultimately as chief executive, Ian is well placed to bring additional insights to our Board discussions.”
