AFC Energy (AIM: AFC), the industrial fuel cell power company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Dunkley as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

In addition, Percy Hayball has been appointed as a non-executive director and is a representative of Ervington Investments Limited ("Ervington"), which originally invested in the Company in 2012 and has supported it since then. Ervington has the right to appoint two non-executive directors to the Board of the Company for such time as it and Eugene Shvidler in the aggregate hold over 10 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.

The combination of Richard's extensive corporate experience and strong strategic financial management will be most valuable as the Company further progresses its commercialisation strategies.

About AFC Energy

AFC Energy's project POWER-UP demonstrated the world's largest operational alkaline fuel cell system at Air Products' industrial gas plant in Stade, Germany. The Company is now looking to build upon an already established pipeline of commercial opportunities and drive the findings from the development phase of the technology into a technically optimised and commercially relevant fuel cell system.
