The impact of innovations on the supply chain

Speaker: Gary Nicholson
Event: Client Alumni III
Location: BAT, Globe House, London
Date: Thursday 20th May 2010

Following on from the success of our first and second alumni events last year, we held a third event in association with our client, British American Tobacco, at their Global Headquarters overlooking the Thames. Crimson & Co’s client alumni is an invite-only network for clients and former clients designed to foster supply chain leadership.

We would like to extend a huge ‘thank you’ to Sean Mallon, Global Head of Planning at BAT for hosting the evening and to Gary Nicholson, Head of Innovation Development and Delivery, for his fascinating discussion on the impact of innovations on the supply chain. It provided an entertaining insight into the rationale behind some of BAT's product development decisions and the value that creates for the whole business, reinforcing the need for a supply chain which can respond quickly and profitably. This stimulated much discussion over the evening!

We would like to thank our guests for such positive feedback, we will be announcing the details of our next event shortly.
