OFFICE: ATM: Appointment of new CEO to UK Business
The Board of A2 Corporation is very pleased to announce that Scott
Wotherspoon is to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of the wholly
owned subsidiary, A2 Milk (UK) Ltd, effective from this date.
A2C advised in November 2013 the agreement to acquire the 50% interest in the
UK joint venture then owned by Muller Wiseman Dairies and to enter into a
contract packing agreement with effect from January 2014. The company also
advised of a number of operational changes to the sales and marketing
functions of the business and changes to the UK subsidiary Board structure as
a result. These changes increase our ability to manage and support the
ongoing development of the UK business.
This appointment is consistent with our plan to further enhance management
resources to drive growth in the UK business. The role will report through
the local board structure to myself and be based at the Company's Guildford
office near London.
Scott joins the Group with an outstandingly strong skill set in sales,
marketing and entrepreneurial businesses primarily in Europe. His previous
roles have included:
o 15 years in marketing, sales and commercial roles within Unilever in both
Europe and Asia
o The CEO of a specialist beauty devices business, creating an entirely new
category in the UK and ultimately securing a global distribution deal with
Procter and Gamble
o Most recently, the CEO of Plum Baby, a successful private equity backed
food business in the UK recently acquired by Campbells Foods.
Scott has a degree from Cambridge University and is married with three
children.
