After five years service as Group Communications Director, Hugh Colver will be returning to independent consultancy at the end of the year.
Hugh has been a highly valued member of the senior team since early 2000, and I am delighted that he has agreed to continue to provide consultancy services to BAE Systems.
Charlotte Lambkin, who as a Director of Bell Pottinger Corporate & Financial has been advising the company since February 2003, is appointed Group Communications Director with effect from 6 December, reporting to me.
Our thanks go to Hugh Colver for his contribution to the company over the past five years and previously. We wish him every success in his new venture and look forward to working with him in the future. We welcome Charlotte Lambkin to the company and wish her every success in her new role.
