Our new Chief Executive
Meet Jack Bowles, BAT’s new Chief Executive. He takes over from Nicandro Durante, who has retired after 37 years with the company.
Leading the transformation
Our ambition is to lead the transformation of our industry by offering adult consumers a range of potentially reduced-risk products.
See our world through the eyes of people who work for and with us.
We are BAT – our company video
The people who help make us the company we are today take centre stage in our company video, We are BAT.
The video presents our business through the eyes of our employees and those we work with around the world. Among those we hear from are a farmer whose family has been supplying us with tobacco for three generations and BAT scientists involved in developing a next generation of potentially reduced-risk products.
We believe their stories show who we are: a progressive company that’s proud of its heritage and excited about the future.

Watch video 11 April 2010The latest BAT Grad Academy saw 129 graduates from 32 countries travelling to the UK for an action-packed fortnight of learning.
The graduates spent two weeks finding out more about our business, undertaking a variety of sessions across areas including finance, supply chain, operations, regulation and marketing.
There were also sessions focusing on personal development, as well as lessons in leadership and Q&As with senior leaders including our Group Financial Controller, James Barrett and Group Head of Manufacturing, Corinne Burrows.
The grads’ main task was a business simulation competition where they had to ‘run’ their own business and present their strategy to senior BAT management.
Paulina Nainggolan, from BAT Indonesia, said: “Thanks to the Grad Academy, I’ve gained more insight and knowledge, which will be very important for my future career.”
Mashroor Faiyaz Khan, from BAT Bangladesh, added: “This wasn’t just a training session, it was such an interactive, engaging experience.”
The grads also enjoyed a trip to our London HQ, as well as a visit to our research and development hub in Southampton, UK, to find out more about our potentially reduced-risk products and the science behind our tobacco leaf process.
