Union Gas Limited

New Management Appointments

Just in case you haven’t already heard, a familiar face is coming home to Union Gas next year.

Steve Baker, who led the Storage and Transmission team from 2007 to 2010, will be returning from Houston to become president of Union Gas as of January 1, 2012.

"I'm thrilled to be taking on this important role at Union Gas, and I’m equally thrilled to be returning to Chatham," Baker said. "This company has built a century of success, and I'm confident our future will be equally bright. I look forward to being a part of that future."

In his new role, Baker will be responsible for setting the overall course and strategy for Union Gas’ continued growth in earnings and safe operations.

Baker, who spent the past 18 months as vice-president and treasurer of our parent company Spectra Energy Corp., will replace Julie Dill, who will become president and chief executive officer of the company’s master limited partnership, Spectra Energy Partners. Dill will also take on the role of group vice-president, Strategy, for Spectra Energy Corp.

"While I relish the opportunity to take on these new challenges, I will always cherish my time at Union Gas," Dill said. "It was a particular honor to lead this company through its Centennial year, and a pleasure to celebrate that history with the many communities and customers we serve."

At the same time, we will be bidding a fond farewell to our current VP, Texas native and new father Allen Capps, who will return to Houston to be Spectra’s chief accounting officer, as vice-president and controller.

"S&T has been a tremendously dynamic area to oversee during my time at Union Gas," Capps said. "This is where the effects of the dramatic changes in gas supply over the past few years were felt most acutely. I’m very proud to have led a team that was able to respond to our customers' changing needs with creative and comprehensive solutions."

Mark Isherwood, currently general manager of Business Development Storage and Transmission at Union Gas, will be replacing Allen as BDS&T vice president effective Jan. 1, 2012.

Mark has held many senior management positions at Union Gas in his 29 years with the company, focused primarily on the commercial side of the business. He has developed an excellent reputation in the industry, building strong relationships with our customers and suppliers.

In his new role, Mark will be responsible for continuing to grow Union Gas' storage and transmission business.

"I look forward to leading the BDS&T team, which has a long history of providing great service to our customers," Mark said. "As well, as North America's natural gas supply dynamics continue to go through significant change, I see great opportunities for Union Gas to reach out and connect new supply to Dawn, and to continue to grow our storage and transmission business in Ontario.

The S&T team wishes Mark, Allen, Steve and Julie all the best in their new roles.
