New vice president supply chain for Unilever UK & Ireland
Unilever had a reshuffle of its supply chain leadership this month, with Sarah Newbitt taking over as vice president of its UK and Ireland operations.
She replaced David Sprent, who was appointed vice president supply chain for food with Unilever North America.
After joining Unilever as a graduate trainee, Newbitt has dedicated more than 20 years to the business – working in a variety of categories and roles.
She said: “Having worked for Unilever for a number of years, I am looking forward to returning to the UK and Ireland business and overseeing our supply chain,” she said. “We are building a new personal care factory in Port Sunlight, our historic home, this year so it is a particularly exciting time to take on the role.”
