Huw Edwards
Commercial Director Bakery
Cafe's and Central Buying, Asda
After a degree in Law and Philosophy and 13 years at M&S, in stores and food buying, Huw accepted the invitation to join Asda in 1996. Since that time Huw has worked in food trading and latterly has been Director of Merchandising and Director of Food Formats. He took on responsibility for Bakery in 2005 and has since added cafes and central buying (GNFR) to his portfolio.
The current role is a varied one incorporating all the challenges of an operationally complex trading offer with the sourcing of the extremely diverse range of products and services required by the whole business to function. One of Huw's team's major contributions to Asda in 2008 has been leading a programme that has delivered 25% reduction in packaging on food. The team is also very proud to have been chosen to lead the global implementation of ARIBA for Wal-Mart.
