It said yesterday that Mark Moran would join the group in early December to replace Jim Smart, who will step down from the board.

Smart has agreed to remain with the company until early 2012 to ensure a smooth handover to his successor.

Moran was formerly finance director of SSL International, the consumer healthcare firm recently acquired by Reckitt Benckiser.
