Wood Group said today that Sir Ian Wood will retire as chairman of the company and will be replaced by current CEO Allister Langlands. Bob Keiller, chief executive of the Wood Group PSN division, will become CEO. Sir Ian Wood said: "I have been lucky enough to participate in the very successful and exciting growth of the UK's oil and gas industry over the last 45 years and seen Wood Group become a successful global player. We are performing well in a strong market, with a great management team and good prospects and this is an opportune time to retire, particularly as we have in place a strong management succession plan.
