From 1 October, Mr Allen will take on responsibility for all international legal, regulatory and security matters.

Ms Richards’ retirement was announced last month, after 12 years in the role. Mr Smith described her as “bold, untiring and innovative”, who had led multiple negotiations including the company’s acquisition of TNT in 2015.
