Foodstuffs will have a new national head later this year, with the confirmation today that Steve Anderson would succeed Tony Carter as managing director.
Mr Carter said in July last year that he would be stepping down from the top role at Foodstuffs (NZ) within two years, with October 15 now set as the changeover date.
Mr Anderson - who will also replace Mr Carter as Chairman of both Liquorland and Bell Tea & Coffee – is the current chief executive of Foodstuffs South Island and will continue in this role.
Mr Anderson has been with Foodstuffs for a decade and has been credited with the reinvigoration of the Four Square brand, the launch of the Henry’s Beer, Wines and Spirits stores and racking up $2 billion in sales revenue during 2008.
Mr Carter’s resignation has not been the only change in the top at the country’s biggest grocer, with Craig Wilson recently taking on the role of managing director at Foodstuffs Wellington after Tony McNeil stepped down.
