Bill Smit has been appointed head of non-financial products at LIFFE, a new position. He was, until recently, a member of the London Clearing House Board. The creation of this position follows the recommendations of the Commodity Rapid Progress Group that commodity products should operate as a separate division within LIFFE, but with an expanded focus on all non-financial products, and that a head of non-financial products should be appointed to develop the full potential of this policy group.
