Trinity Exploration appoints Edouard Brain as CFO

Brain will take over from CFO and managing director Jeremy Bridglalsingh on 14 September, at which time he will begin to concentrate solely on his role as MD of the AIM-listed group.

Chairman Bruce Dingwall said: "Edouard joins Trinity at a significant milestone where we are focused on delivering a step-change in the scale of our business and we look forward to his contribution to a strengthened leadership team on delivering on our growth aspirations.

"Edouard's appointment also allows Jeremy, in his role as managing director, to apply even greater focus to the overriding target of scaling the business and delivering shareholder value."
