Change at the top in Europe

The division of the group into regions, undertaken two years ago, is being reversed and countries are now reporting to the European management board once again. The regional organization is only being retained in Eastern Europe. Pierre Laubies will head the European operation, succeeding Dick Raper, who is moving to Mars’ US headquarters to take charge of personnel for the group. Laubies has been in the management hierarchy at Mars for some years and was most recently responsible for Latin America.
