New director for Tanfield

Tanfield has appointed Daryn Ashley Robinson -currently company secretary - as a non-executive director.

Robinson, 38, previously held the post of group financial controller of Tanfield from October 2002 until March 2008 during which time he was a member of the senior management team. Since then, he has been a director of Penshaw Consultancy where he has provided business support services to a number of companies. He is also a co-owner and co-director of Tutum group, a new company formed with past Tanfield chairman Roy Stanley.

He owns 546,740 shares in Tanfield - representing just under a third of one percent - and holds options over a further 100,000 shares.

Chairman Jon Pither said: "The board would like to welcome Daryn to the board and look forward to his ongoing contribution to the company."

Tanfield is now a non trading investment company whose main asset is a 49 percent stake in Snorkel.
