Mark Lidiard, V-P IR and comms for more than five years, said he had been ‘looking for another role internally’ for the past 12 months but had not found a suitable position. He now leaves without a job to go to, but said he would assess his options.
BHP Billiton’s £75bn pursuit of rival Rio Tinto will now see communications run from the Australian half of the dual-listed firm.
V-P comms Tania Price, who is based in Melbourne, takes over Lidiard’s responsibilities.
