State Owned Enterprises Minister Simon Power today announced two appointments to the boards of Transpower and Solid Energy.

Mark Verbiest has been appointed as a director of Transpower, taking effect from 1 August to 30 April 2013.

He is a Wellington-based lawyer and company director with 18 years' experience in private legal practice.

He holds a number of current directorships including Freightways, Southern Cross Medical Care Society, the Government Superannuation Fund Authority and he is a member of the Securities Commission.

Power says Verbiest brings strong legal and regulatory skills aligned with significant governance experience to the board.
