Some big moves in the industry this week: first, Taste Holding's has been so pleased with Marcel Strauss's leadership of The Fish & Chip Co., it's been decided that he will head up the company's new chicken acquisition, Zebro's. Woolworths today announced that Christo Claassen will be taking over as MD of clothing and general merchandise from Brett Kaplan, who is planning to retire this year after an admirable 37-years with the company. In other news, the annual SACSC Research Conference will be taking place in Sandton this April, British Airways has launched a new credit card in conjunction with MasterCard, and there's new opposition to Foodcorp and Oceana's merger. Have a love-filled week!
