“For the immediate future I will continue to line manage the four customer service heads of service (Paul Tonking, Garry Goacher, Tony Patching and Jan Jonker) as I have during Jane’s absence. I will be talking to them, CLT (corporate leadership team) colleagues and the leaders about future management arrangements and I will let you know the outcome as soon as possible.”
