Commenting on his appointment, Michael said: “It’s an honour to be appointed CEO of LME Clear and I look forward to building on the foundations of innovation and impact that the organisation has become known for since its establishment a decade ago. LME Clear is one of the world’s premier centres for metals clearing and settlement and it has an exciting future ahead of it. I am committed to playing my part in ensuring its long-term sustainability and resilience, while exploring new ways to progress the business and the market.”

I would like to thank James Cressy for his leadership at LME Clear over the last 12 months, and I look forward to continuing to work with him as we play a pivotal role in the global metals industry.”
