UK: Refrigerant supplier, recycling and reclamation company, A‑Gas, has appointed Jack Govers as CEO of the A-Gas Group.

Govers was 12 years at GE, latterly as global product manager, before spending 10 years in MD roles at Saudi Arabian multinational chemical manufacturing company SABIC. For the last five years he has been at aluminium company Aleris, prior to its purchase last year by Novelis.

At A-Gas, he replaces Andrew Ambrose who becomes executive chairman after seven years as CEO.
