Commenting, Jim Quille said: "This is an important and planned step in the evolution of MGPA that will ensure continuity and facilitate the ongoing growth and success of our business. In his current role as Chief Executive, Asia, Simon has overseen the strong growth of our business in that area of the world and we are delighted he has accepted our invitation to take up the global CEO role."
