Logistics.
Commenting on the changes, Chief Executive, Jack Bowles,
said:
"I would like to thank Alan for the enormous contribution he has
made to the Group throughout his 32-year career at BAT. Alan's
transformation of Operations into a dynamic, multi-category
function has been a key component of our A Better Tomorrow
strategy. Most recently, the Group's ability to navigate the
challenges presented by COVID-19 is testament to the efficient,
agile and globally integrated supply chain he has created. We wish
him and his family all the very best for the future.
BAT has around 13 million consumers of our non-combustible
products and Zafar's experience of expanding our capabilities and
embedding an end-to-end supply chain for our New Category products
makes him the natural choice as Director, Operations to accelerate
the delivery of our A Better Tomorrow strategy.
We are very proud of the depth and breadth of our management
talent at BAT. By carefully developing careers on a global stage,
we are, once again, able to ensure a well thought through and
orderly internal succession to a key leadership role. Alan and I
are confident that Zafar is the right leader, at the right time for
the opportunities ahead. I wish Zafar the very best in his new
role."
