Vector announces the appointment today of Vaughan Busby as a non-executive director.
 
This appointment follows an external review and search by the Vector board. Vaughan Busby is an experienced energy and infrastructure leader, bringing over 20 years of expertise to the board. Mr Busby currently serves as a non-executive director for Energy Queensland (the largest electricity distribution business in Australia) and Netlogix Australia and is the chair of Australian entity SFV (an energy infrastructure financing company).  Previously, Mr Busby was the chair of ASX-listed SciDev and has held directorships at EnergyCo NSW, Energy One, Ergon Energy, Morrison and Infratil Energy Australia.
