New leadership positions for bp’s UK retail business

Jo Hayward has been appointed VP mobility & convenience while Natalie Cattermole will now serve as senior dealer manager UK.

bp has announced changes to its UK retail leadership team, with the appointment of Jo Hayward as VP mobility & convenience retail and Natalie Cattermole as senior dealer manager. 

These changes come at a pivotal time for bp as it looks to grow its UK retail business, meeting customers’ evolving needs through the energy transition and transforming forecourt convenience. 

Formerly bp’s VP for convenience in Europe, Hayward will replace Sonya Adams, who has been appointed chief of staff to bp CEO Murray Auchincloss. Cattermole, formerly the UK senior marketing manager, will report to Hayward in her new role and lead the dealer team.

“They are both fantastic leaders who bring deep customer insight and retail experience to their new roles. With this expertise I am sure they will build on the great progress made in recent years to grow and transform our retail business in the UK, helping us to become first choice for customers on the move,” commented  Tracey Clements, SVP mobility & convenience Europe at bp.

Hayward will be responsible for the company’s network of around 1,150 retail sites in the UK while Cattermole will continue to build bp’s relationships with dealer partners, which make up around 850 sites in the UK network.

Convenience is one of bp’s five transition growth engines, the areas of the business in which it is increasing investment as part of its transformation into an integrated energy company. The company aims to doubling convenience gross margin globally by 2030.
