services with minimal engagement with business stakeholders, the challenge was
overcome by an effective PR roadshow which focused on developing productive
relationships and trust from the senior leadership team. This allowed the CRP to deliver a
total benefit of £20m (12.5%) across Marketing Services, Logistics / Supply Chain, HR
