The current CEO of CWW, Gavin Darby, will work with Jeffery to ensure a smooth transition before leaving the business at the end of October.

It is a similar story for CWW Chief Financial Officer Ian Gibson, acting Chief Technology Officer Dave Broady and acting HR Director Jane Little, who are all replaced by Vodafone managers, but stay on for the immediate period.
