NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR APPOINTED AT UPD
Clicks Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Vikesh Ramsunder as
managing director of UPD, the group`s pharmaceutical wholesaler, with effect
from 1 October 2010.
Vikesh (39) is currently head of logistics for Clicks. He replaces Lynda van
Niekerk who has been head of UPD since 2005. She will remain with the group in a
consulting capacity for the next year.
Clicks Group chief executive officer, David Kneale, said: "It is most pleasing
to be able to make this key appointment from within the group. Vikesh has had
extensive experience in retail and distribution centre operations in his 17
years with the group. He has been head of logistics in Clicks since 2008 during
which time the performance of the distribution centres has improved
dramatically. Prior to this he was the project manager of the Clicks Blueprint
programme which has been instrumental in enhancing operating efficiencies within
Clicks stores.
"We thank Lynda for the role she has played in leading UPD during a period of
unprecedented change following regulatory reform in the pharmaceutical
wholesaling industry. She has positioned UPD as a market leader with a focused
growth strategy. We are pleased to be retaining her services in a consulting
capacity."
