BT Group PLC said Tuesday that it has appointed Adam Crozier as
its next chairman and that he will step down as chairman at online
fashion retailer ASOS PLC as a result.
Mr. Crozier, a former chief executive of ITV PLC and Royal Mail
PLC, will join BT's board as an independent nonexecutive director
and chairman-designate with effect from Nov. 1 and will become
chairman with effect from Dec. 1, when current BT Chairman Jan du
Plessis will retire, the British telecommunications group said.
BT said Mr. Crozier is currently chairman of Whitbread PLC, ASOS
and Kantar Group Ltd., but he will step down as ASOS chairman on
Nov. 29. Mr. Crozier also serves as a nonexecutive director of Sony
Corp., but will step down at the end of the year.
ASOS later confirmed that Mr. Crozier intends to leave at the
end of his three-year term of office, and that the process to find
a new chairman has started.
BT in March said Mr. du Plessis would be retiring from his role
later this year, once a replacement had been appointed. Mr. du
Plessis joined BT's board in June 2017 and was appointed chairman
in November of that year.
