Providence appoints Tullow Oil executive to board

Tony O’Reilly Jr’s Providence Resources has named Tullow Oil’s exploration director Angus McCoss to its board in a non-executive capacity.

Mr McCoss, one of the senior members of the Tullow board, will join Providence as a non-executive director early next month.

It marks the second Tullow-linked board appointment Providence has made in the past year. Last September, the company appointed Tullow’s former chairman, Pat Plunkett, as its chair.
