BP appoints former CRH boss Albert Manifold as new chairman
Mr Lund had announced plans in April to step down 'in due course', but the group said it would probably take until 2026 to find his successor.
Shares in BP lifted 1% in early morning trading.
Aviva chief executive Dame Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director who led the hunt for Mr Lund's successor, said Mr Manifold was 'the ideal candidate to oversee BP's next chapter'.
She said: 'Albert has a relentless focus on performance which is well suited to BP's needs now and into the future.
'He transformed and refocused CRH into a global leader.'
CRH, which has its headquarters in Ireland, switched its stock market listing from London to New York in 2023 and has since seen its share price rocket by 74%.
Speculation has swirled over whether BP will move its London listing to Wall Street after activist investor Elliott Management built up a stake in the group.
But BP chief executive Murray Auchincloss has previously dismissed the rumours, saying in April the group had no plans to change its listing.
Mr Lund has been chairman since 2019, but he has presided over a more challenging past few years for the firm.
He oversaw the hiring of former chief executive Bernard Looney, who quit in September 2023 after failing to disclose his past relationships with company colleagues.
Mr Lund also played a key part in overseeing the group setting its net zero agenda, but the firm has since rowed back on the shift towards green energy.
BP bowed to pressure from shareholders by vowing to accelerate investment in oil and gas while slashing renewable spending by nearly three-quarters.
In a major rebuttal for a FTSE 100 company, Mr Lund received a near 25% vote against his re-election at the firm's annual general meeting in April.
Ahead of the AGM, a group of 48 institutional investors had criticised the board for not offering a direct vote on the oil major's revised strategy, while environmental groups fiercely criticised the climate row-back.
The vote was largely seen as a protest, as Mr Lund had already announced his departure at the time of the AGM.

He told RTE's Morning Ireland: 'We're flying largely full flights, about half the passengers can bring two bags and the other half can only bring one — because that's all that fits in the plane.

Passengers are charged a fee of up to £65 for bringing luggage that is larger than they paid for while booking their journey. Mr O'Leary said: 'We are happy to incentivise our (staff) with a share of those excess baggage fees, which we think will decline over the coming year or two.'

Ryanair recently reported a quarterly net profit of £710million. more than doubling last year's figures, as fares surged 21 per cent.

Footsie closes above 9,000 for first time as round-the-clock trading idea sparks fierce City debate
The FTSE 100 closed above 9,000 for the first time yesterday – as a report that the stock exchange could introduce round-the-clock trading sparked a fierce debate. The UK index climbed 20.87 points, or 0.2 per cent to end the session at 9012.99. It is up by more than 10 per cent for the year to date. The Footsie reached the milestone even as politicians and City grandees worry that it is losing its relevance as a global financial centre. Reforms over the past couple of years have so far failed to revive valuations enough to spare the exchange from being raided by foreign predators. Some think it should follow rival exchanges in New York, which are already planning to bring in 24-hour or extended trading hours – but opinion in the Square Mile is divided. Record close: The FTSE 100 climbed 21 points, or 0.2% to end the session at 9013. It is up by more than 10% for the year to date. The Financial Times reported that parent company London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) was considering the move. Michael Healy, managing director of trading platform IG, said 24-hour trading would be 'a welcome and overdue step in the right direction' for the exchange. He said: 'If London wants to reclaim its place as a leading global financial centre, it must lead on this.' But Michael Brown at broker Pepperstone said it could have a 'negative impact' on liquidity with trading volumes spread over a longer period resulting in more volatility. He added that there was 'very little clamour for such a move'. LSEG declined to comment.

Baptism of fire for new BP boss: Oil giant accused of 'panic appointments' as activist Elliott attacks 'chronic' failings
BP's new chairman faced warnings over the oil giant's 'chronic' failings last night – just hours after he was branded a 'panic appointment'. Albert Manifold, the former chief executive of building materials firm CRH, will join the BP board in September and take over as chairman in October – despite having never held the position elsewhere. The shake-up marked a humiliation for departing chairman Helge Lund, who in April said he would stand down – but not until 2026. It is a crucial time in BP's 124-year history as it abandons its disastrous push into green energy to refocus on oil and gas amid persistent speculation it could be taken over by arch-rival Shell. Hours after his appointment, Manifold, 62, was urged by major BP shareholder Elliott Investment Management to take 'decisive' action to revive its fortunes. The notorious US activist said: 'We note Albert Manifold's track record of delivering shareholder value at CRH and look forward to working with him to urgently address BP's shortcomings – particularly around its cost base, capital allocation, and poorly received turnaround plan.' The comments came after BP was forced to deny Manifold was a 'panic appointment', following reports industry heavyweights turned down the job. In a note to clients, analysts at Panmure Liberum said: 'We see little in his background that suggests he has the experience to deliver the major overhaul and turnaround of a major integrated oil and gas firm. 'Our initial take is that this is a panic appointment after industry heavyweights turned down the role. We doubt that Elliott will be appeased by this move and that the board will remain under pressure.' BP hit back, with a spokesman telling the Mail: 'Unsurprisingly, we disagree with that comment, an initial take that we feel misunderstands both the process and the appointment.' The chairmanship of BP – a top ten member of the FTSE 100 with a value of £63billion – is one of the biggest boardroom jobs in Britain. BP non-executive director Amanda Blanc, who is chief executive of Aviva and led the search for Lund's replacement, said Manifold's 'impressive track record of shareholder value creation at CRH demonstrates he is the ideal candidate to oversee BP's next chapter'. In his 11 years at the concrete and cement supplier from 2014 to 2024, shares rose nearly 400 per cent. He said: 'It is an honour to be appointed chair of one of the world's great energy companies, and to have the opportunity to help it reach its full potential.' His appointment sparked speculation BP could look at switching its main stock market listing to New York – just as CRH did under his leadership in 2023. Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said the muted share price reaction – BP rose 0.3 per cent – showed 'investors aren't blown away by the choice' of Manifold. Mould added his appointment 'will stir speculation the energy group might switch its main stock listing to the US'.
