Network Rail appointed a new non-executive director today under moves to reshape its board.
Malcolm Brinded, Royal Dutch Shell‘s executive director, joined NR with his appointment to be confirmed at next year’s annual meeting.
NR chairman Rick Haythornthwaite said: My priority when joining Network Rail was to reshape the non-executive element of the board. Building on the success of the current and former non-executives, this reflects the change agenda on which the company is now embarked.
Malcolm Brinded will play a vital role in Network Rail’s corporate governance. His many years of experience at a senior level at one of the world’s biggest companies will be a great asset to Network Rail’s board.
The appointment is one of the final elements of my task to reshape the board. It is now well-equipped to support the company as it embarks on a new phase of its evolution – a phase that will see a change of approach and direction as it works to deliver a better, less costly railway.

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
