Abramovich-backed AFC Energy appoints new finance director
AFC ENERGY, the fuel-cell power company that counts Chelsea FC billionaire owner Roman Abramovich as a major shareholder, yesterday announced the appointment of Christopher Tawney as its new finance director.
The Aim-listed company, founded in 2006, is focused on the development and production of alkaline fuel cells, and has recently won a large order worth up to $15m (£9m) with South Korean power plant owner Daniel in July, representing AFC’s biggest order since its founding.
Conservative MP Tim Yeo, who is also chairman of AFC Energy, said: “Christopher’s vast experience and oversight of the financial function at a broad range of growth companies in the cleantech and technology sectors will strengthen our leadership team as the company enters the most important period of its commercial development.”
