People & Business: Job swap
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NYCOMED Amersham's chairman and deputy chairman have swapped places.
It was all planned when Nycomed of Norway merged with Amersham International of the UK in October 1997. Richard Lapthorne, non-executive deputy chairman, will succeed Johan Fr Odfjell as non-executive chairman at the annual meeting on 6 May. Mr Odfjell will in turn succeed Mr Lapthorne as non- executive deputy chairman.
Mr Lapthorne, a Francophile who spends much of the year living in his house in France, has made a fortune from his share options in British Aerospace, where he is vice-chairman. He also finds time to be chairman of Morse, the recently floated computer services group, and a non-exec at Orange and Robert Fleming.
