As a young lad growing up in Glasgow, the idea of working for @Unilever in London felt like a big adventure. What I couldn’t have imagined was that it would last an extraordinary 38 years, and involve living all over the world.. places like Thailand, China, Singapore, and the US.

But it’s not just these amazing places that have made this adventure so great – it’s the people that I’ve had the fortune to work with. I’ve been very lucky and truly blessed to have been part of this great company, and hugely grateful to have had the privilege of leading it.

The team at @Vegebutcher has just launched a vegan bacon – great taste, classic sizzle, and better for the planet. Might make us think twice about choosing bacon for breakfast! Watch Dr. Marco Santagiuliana explain the superior science.

The future of work is rapidly evolving. I sat down with Patrick Hull, @Unilever's Global Head of Learning & Future of Work, to reflect on how we’re adapting to build the workforce of the future. We’ve made great progress so far – and have a real opportunity to lead in this space.

Businesses can – and should – do well by doing good. But how much change can one person make in a large organisation? @SharonThorneUK, Deloitte Global Chair, and I discuss this topic on @Deloitte's The Green Room podcast, while also reflecting a little on our journeys:

Small Kirana stores sit at the heart of Indian communities. But stocking shelves isn’t easy – so @HUL_news developed the Shikhar app, connecting outlets to HUL sellers, so store owners can place orders 24/7. Now 1 million retailers have gone digital! unilever.com/news/news-searc…
