Vodafone has announced its current chairman is to step down next year.

MacLaurin will continue to be involved in the company as head of the Vodafone Group Foundation, a charitable trust connected to Vodafone, and remain as an adviser to the company.
Sir John Bond will take up the position vacated by MacLaurin in 2006. Bond, who is a non-executive director at Vodafone, is better known for his role as HSBC's group chairman.
