Volex appoints Nathaniel Rothschild as executive chairman

(Reuters) - Power and data cables maker Volex Plc said it appointed financier Nathaniel Rothschild as executive chairman with immediate effect.

The company said its non-executive directors decided that role of chairman and chief executive should be combined into an executive chairman position after a review of the board.

Volex added that interim CEO Geraint Anderson and non-executive director Karen Slatford had resigned.

The company, which designs and makes power cables for electronic devices, also said it would not be necessary to appoint a group CEO.
