Tullow's finance chief to step down

Tullow Oil announced this morning that Chief Financial Officer of the company, Tom Hickey, is to resign.

Citing personal reasons and a desire to live in Ireland, Tom Hickey’s departure will not take effect until a successor is in place. It is envisaged that the process will take at least six months with the transition likely to take place between the release of interim results in August and the end of the year.
