TWE names new supply officer
Treasury Wine Estates has named Bob Spooner as its new chief supply officer.
Spooner will take up his new position on 2 February and replaces Stuart McNab who has spent nearly 20 years with SouthCorp Wines, Fosters and then TWE and is leaving to “explore other opportunities”.
Having started his career at Sara Lee’s Personal Care business, he moved on to ICI Paints as European supply chain director and more recently has worked as CEO of Hovis.
TWE said he has “extensive experience in leading and optimising supply chains across a diverse range of industries. He is a highly capable and thoughtful leader who has a proven track record of building efficient and commercially focused teams.”
Chief executive Mike Clarke commented: “I am delighted to appoint an individual of Bob’s calibre and capabilities. Having worked with him before at Premier Foods I know first-hand of his extensive experience in building highly efficient supply chain operations and I look forward to him bringing those talents to Treasury Wine Estates.
“Bob is an extremely seasoned and experienced chief supply officer who has all the necessary skills to help us reset our business and help TWE deliver long-term sustainable growth.
“I would also like to thank Stuart McNab for his many contributions to the business over the last 20 years, and for his personal support to me over the past 10 months. His deep wine knowledge, significant technical expertise and industry experience, along with his enormous commitment to our business will be missed and I wish him all the very best in his future endeavours”.
