Man of the moment: Peter Jackson

Article Abstract:

British Sugar's new executive director of personnel, Peter Jackson, is expected to play a major role in implementing a corporate program for change that involves development and diversification of the sugar business. Jackson's board-level appointment is a company first, and indicates the importance that British Sugar attaches to the personnel function. Jackson believes strongly in the importance of the line manager's role and the need for accountability. Jackson supports the idea of personnel staff gaining line experience, and also having non-personnel employees work in that function, feeling that this exchange can bring a fresh approach all around.
