Cadbury has today announced that Sanjiv Ahuja and Ellen Marram will retire from the Board with effect from the end of September 2008.
The Board are particularly grateful to both Sanjiv and Ellen for their decision to assist in overseeing the completion of the demerger of the beverage business prior to stepping down in order to devote more time to their other business interests.
Cadbury is currently in the process of recruiting alternative non executive directors to ensure an appropriate balance with executive board members in keeping with the highest standards of corporate governance. A further announcement on the new appointments to the Board will be made shortly.
