Challenger Energy Appoints Bill Bloking as its Non-Executive Director Replacing Paul Bilston
Mr. Bloking, who has 40 years' experience in oil and gas and has held senior positions with BHP Billiton Petroleum, Exxon and Esso, has been serving as an adviser to the company. Among his current industry roles are Chairman of Nido Petroleum and Managing Director of mineral sands company Gunson Resources.
