He was a Senior Adviser and interim Chief Executive of UK Government Investments, (a company wholly-owned by the UK Treasury) and a non-executive director of UK Export Finance. Previously, Justin was a Senior Adviser and Managing Director of Morgan Stanley, where he advised multinational companies as well as governments on financing and mergers and acquisitions.
Commenting on his appointment, Justin said: “I look forward to working with the Board and management of Urenco, a company at the heart of the global nuclear energy industry and which plays a key role in ensuring security of supply and fulfilment of climate change goals. This is an exciting time for Urenco as it expands operations in its core business at each of its sites and develops advanced fuels capacities as well as stable and medical isotopes.”
Justin’s successor as non-executive director of Urenco will be appointed and announced in the coming weeks.
Stephen Billingham served on Urenco’s Board for almost 15 years, from 2016 as Chairman, and prior to that, as a non-executive director.
