Ousted BP chair hits out at ‘lies’ over his conduct

Ousted BP chief attacks ‘anonymous staff lies’ over bullying claims

Manifold issued a statement in response to reports about his conduct after BP's board removed him with immediate effect on Tuesday.

The ousted chairman of BP has hit back at the “lies” surrounding his conduct, outlining how he made his own coffee, refused a chauffeur-driven limousine and ate lunch at a local cafe during his tenure at the oil giant.

Manifold, who hails from Dublin, was previously the long-serving chief executive of CRH.
