FTSE 100: Index falls as earnings results weigh; pound below $1.33, Bodycote soars
LONDON - Ocado Group PLC (LSE:LON:OCDO) announced today the retirement of Neill Abrams, who has served as Group General Counsel and Company Secretary for 25 years. Abrams, a key figure in Ocado’s evolution from a startup to a global technology provider, will be succeeded by Mollie Stoker.
Stoker, who previously held the role of Deputy General Counsel at Ocado, will rejoin the company after a tenure at Britvic (LON:BVIC) Plc. Her extensive experience in legal and governance roles, including positions at DWF Group and Lucozade Ribena Suntory, positions her as a seasoned successor to Abrams.
CEO Tim Steiner expressed the company’s gratitude for Abrams’ significant contributions and welcomed Stoker’s return, citing her ideal fit for the position given her history with Ocado and recent experience at Britvic.
The transition process is set to begin in September, with Abrams officially stepping down on November 30, ensuring a smooth handover of responsibilities.
This leadership change comes at a time when Ocado continues to expand its global footprint as a provider of online retail solutions. The appointment is based on a press release statement from the company.
