Pollard to step down as Cory chief exec
Cory Riverside Energy has announced that Nicholas Pollard will be stepping down from his role at chief executive, effective from 23 April 2019.
Nick Pollard is to step down as chief executive of Cory
Mr Pollard was appointed to the role in 2015. According to Cory, he then oversaw the streamlining of the company into a business focused on the waste logistics infrastructure of the River Thames and its Riverside EfW facility in Belvedere, East London.
Cory was acquired in June 2018 by a consortium of long-term infrastructure investors, comprising Dalmore Capital, Fiera Infrastructure, Semperian PPP Investment Partners and Swiss Life Asset Managers.
Mr Pollard will be leaving Cory to pursue new opportunities, Cory said. He currently serves on the CBI Infrastructure Board and is a non-executive director for Interserve.
Mr Pollard said: “Cory has transformed from an underperforming conglomerate of waste-related businesses into a focused, world-class EfW business. It has been a joy to lead this company and to work with so many impressive and dedicated people across all parts of the business.”
Cory said the process of appointing Mr Pollard’s replacement is at an advanced stage, and a further announcement will be made in due course.
