New Aggreko CEO from January

Temporary power provider Aggreko has confirmed that new CEO Chris Weston will take the reins on 2 January, 2015.

Aggreko announced in May that it had appointed Centrica executive Mr Weston as its new CEO. It said Ken Hanna, currently executive chairman, would revert to his previous role of non-executive chairman when Mr Weston came on board at the start of next year.

Mr Weston is currently managing director of international downstream at energy conglomerate Centrica, running the group’s largest division. In this role, he is operationally responsible for both British Gas in the UK and Direct Energy in the US.
