Tullow Oil said chairman Dorothy Thompson is stepping down at the end of the summer after nearly three years in the role. 

One of only a handful of women chairing a London-listed company, she said it was the right time after Tullow last month emerged from a financial overhaul with a £1.27billion bond and a new business plan under chief executive Rahul Dhir.
