BP removes chairman Albert Manifold after internal “serious concerns” about his conduct, according to reports in multiple outlets. The Belfast Telegraph says BP takes action to replace him following concerns over his behaviour, while ABC Australia reports that the BBC had earlier described the decision in more detail. ABC Australia cites the BBC’s characterization of the issues, including claims that Manifold’s conduct involved bullying and “overbearing” behaviour. The reporting indicates BP’s board acts in response to these concerns rather than continuing his tenure. The available accounts focus on the nature of the alleged behaviour and BP’s decision to remove him from the chair position, but they do not include additional investigative findings, formal charges, or specific incidents in the provided text. The sources also do not identify BP’s successor or outline the timeline for the transition beyond noting that Manifold is removed from the chair role.
