He was non-executive chairman of England Rugby 2015 - the organising committee for the 2015 Rugby World Cup which was played in England.{{fact|date=June 2017}}

Previously he was the CEO of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), and was succeeded by Richard Solomons.

Early life

Andrew Peter Cosslett was born in April 1955[4] in Whalley Range, Manchester and grew up in Withington.[5] He earned a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's degree in European Studies from the University of Manchester.[6]

Career

Cosslet began his business career in 1979 as a graduate trainee selling Wall's ice cream and spent 11 years with Unilever becoming a marketing director, before joining Cadbury Schweppes in 1990. He then spent 14 years at Cadbury Schweppes in a number of senior roles, including chairman, Cadbury Schweppes Australia; CEO of the Asia Pacific confectionery business; managing director, Great Britain & Ireland; and president, Europe, Middle East and Africa.[7]

Cosslett joined InterContinental Hotels Group as CEO in 2005.[8] As CEO of IHG, he oversaw the launching of the midmarket boutique hotel brand Hotel Indigo, and a focus on further expansion into the Chinese market.[9] An additional change includes IHG selling most of the hotels the company owned and reaffirming their business model as mainly a manager and franchisor of hotels.[10] During the late 2000s, he oversaw a $1bn (£603m), four-year relaunch of the Holiday Inn franchise.[8]

Between 2005 and 2011, Cosslett was a board member of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), a member of the presidents council of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and a board member of the International Tourism Partnership.[11]

Cosslett stood down as the CEO on 30 June 2011 stating that he has been considering his situation for quite a while: “I’m into my seventh year, but it does feel like the right time to hand over the reins. ... The business is in great shape, and that really helps my exit.”[12]

In June 2017, Cosslett succeeded Daniel Bernard as chairman of Kingfisher plc.[13][14]

RFU

Coslett became chair of the RFU in October 2016, succeeding Bill Beaumont. He himself played rugby for 25 years.[15][16]

Personal life

Cosslett is married with two adult children.[17][18]
