I would like to record my thanks to Rijnhard and the Board, and Ayman and the executive team, and wish them great success in delivering the strategy."

Rijnhard van Tets, Petrofac's Chairman, commented: "I would like to record the Board's appreciation for Stefano's contribution to the Board and the Board Risk Committee over the last five years.  We have benefitted enormously from his deep industry knowledge and keen engagement in our discussions around the Board table. We wish him well for the future, in what I expect to be a fulfilling role."
