LONDON - BT named Adam Crozier as its next chairman on Tuesday, saying the experienced operator would take over the roll on December 1 to see the group through one of the most important periods in its 175-year history.

The telecoms and broadband group, in the middle of a mass fibre rollout, said Crozier would bring his experience in running public and private companies to the British firm. Crozier has previously run broadcaster ITV and Royal Mail.
