Huey Evans will take up the post at the London Metal Exchange in December, succeeding the retiring Brian Bender
The London Metal Exchange on Friday appointed Gay Huey Evans as the first female chair of the global centre for industrial metals trading.
"I am very proud to have been elected chair of the LME at such a pivotal time," she said in a statement. She will head the exchange, in operation since 1877, as it gradually adopts new ethical standards to ensure better traceability of raw materials, especially those most at risk such as cobalt.
