King IV – defining leadership
Stephen Koseff
Chairman
In a generally supportive environment, Bidcorp grew its market share, achieved efficiencies and drew substantial benefit from its strategic focus on a foodservice industry that continues to flourish.
Bernard Berson
Chief executive
We take a positive view and see a world of opportunity. Dangers exist, but the group has the capacity to manage them, thanks to our broad geographical spread, closeness to individual markets and the experience of local teams.
David Cleasby
Chief financial officer
Bidcorp remains well capitalised, with ample capacity to fund further organic and acquisitive growth. However, management is well aware of the necessity for balancing debt capacity with the need to assure appropriate returns to our investors.
