Whitbread appoints new group finance director
Whitbread has appointed Nicholas Cadbury as its new group finance director after Christopher Rogers was moved into the post of managing director of Costa Coffee.
Cadbury is currently chief financial officer of Premier Farnell which he joined in 2011. Previously, he was at Dixons Retail in a variety of management roles, including chief financial officer from 2008 to 2011.
Whitbread chief executive Andy Harrison said: "We are delighted with this appointment, having conducted a thorough international search. Nicholas has experience as finance director in two different multi-national PLCs. In addition, he has 18 years' experience of working in a multi-site consumer business across a broad range of roles at Dixons, including commercial director for PC World and managing director for PC City, Italy. He brings a wealth of experience, which will be highly relevant to Whitbread as we continue to realise our ambitious plans for the business. Nicholas is an excellent addition to our team and we're very pleased to have him on board."
Whitbread chairman Anthony Habgood said: "I would like to thank Chris Rogers for his outstanding contribution to the development of Whitbread over his time as finance director. We are fortunate to have his continued presence at the board table as managing director of Costa Coffee."
