Ardmore Shipping will soon have a new man at the helm.

Reginald Jones, the Anthony Gurnee-led company's chairman since 2010, is resigning from his post as board chairman effective 31 December. He will remain as a director until the company's annual general meeting in 2019, where he will not stand for re-election.

Curtis McWilliams, a boardmember since 2016, will take his place at the first of the year.
