Trin­i­ty said the moves were aimed at strength­en­ing its team.

Nick Clay­ton has been named Trin­i­ty’s non-ex­ec­u­tive chair­man while Je­re­my Bridglals­ingh has been named chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer.

Trin­i­ty said Hud­son’s ap­point­ment “will def­i­nite­ly add im­mense val­ue to the al­ready ro­bust lead­er­ship” at the or­gan­i­sa­tion

Hud­son is a ge­ol­o­gist by pro­fes­sion, hav­ing over 30 years se­nior lev­el ex­pe­ri­ence in the oil and gas in­dus­try, op­er­at­ing glob­al­ly with mul­ti-na­tion­al or­gan­i­sa­tions and state en­ter­pris­es.

He is cur­rent­ly non-ex­ec­u­tive chair­man of Sco­tia­bank T&T.

Je­re­my Bridglals­ingh com­ment­ed: “The Trin­i­ty team is pas­sion­ate about what we do and de­ter­mined to con­tin­ue sup­port­ing the lo­cal econ­o­my as our ac­tiv­i­ties grow. We are ex­treme­ly pleased that Derek Hud­son has joined the Board of Trin­i­ty to help us de­liv­er the best re­sults for our fel­low cit­i­zens. Derek is a well-known and high­ly re­spect­ed fig­ure both lo­cal­ly and in the in­ter­na­tion­al oil and gas in­dus­try.

“In ad­di­tion to our tra­di­tion­al pro­duc­ing busi­ness, we con­tin­ue to ex­plore new en­er­gy op­tions, de­car­bon­i­sa­tion and re­duc­ing pol­lu­tion lev­els with lo­cal part­ners and are fo­cused on giv­ing back to the com­mu­ni­ty. We look for­ward to up­dat­ing you on ac­tiv­i­ties in due course.”

Hud­son said:”I am de­light­ed to have joined the Board of Trin­i­ty and look for­ward to as­sist­ing the Group as it builds on the lega­cy of Bruce Ding­wall. Bruce and I were pro­fes­sion­al col­leagues for many years and it is an ho­n­our to be lend­ing my sup­port to the Board in tak­ing the Com­pa­ny for­ward to en­sure that Bruce’s as­pi­ra­tions for Trin­i­ty to be a strong and bal­anced en­er­gy busi­ness will be met.”
