National Grid PLC, the British parent company of National Grid, has appointed Sir Peter Gershon to succeed Sir John Parker as chairman.

Gershon, who is currently chairman of a international food conglomerate and a healthcare company, will join the National Grid board Aug. 1 and will assume the chairman duties Jan. 1.

Of note, National Grid says that Tate & Lyle PLC, the food company he is chairman of, has extensive business interests in the U.S. The U.S. also represents a huge amount of the companys business.

National Grid has been reorganizing its U.S. business units in New York and New England, so Gershons experience dealing with the U.S. markets could have been a key attribute.
