Rexam, the UK packaging company, has appointed Noreen Doyle as a non-executive director. Doyle, who is also a director of Credit Suisse and QinetiQ, prompted accusations of conflicts of interest when the Swiss bank helped float the defence group last month.

Doyle, who also sits on the board of US-listed mining group Newmont Mining and is a former executive of the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development, joins the board of Rexam today.
