I am delighted to have joined the Hovis team. It's a brilliant business and an iconic brand with a really important role in the UK food industry. Every day our Hovis team produces and delivers our extensive bakery range to customers across the UK. The team work and commitment that makes this happen is fantastic to see and a credit to everyone in the organisation.

Prior to joining Hovis I have led a number of other iconic brands and businesses in the UK Food Industry and bring extensive leadership, supply chain, brand building and customer expertise to Hovis from over 30 years in the consumer goods industry. Following my early career at Mars, I worked on another iconic British brand as UK & Ireland Managing Director for Twinings, before developing a strong understanding of the bakery industry as CEO for Allied Milling and Baking. Most recently I worked for dairy giant Muller as their UK CEO helping to drive a turnaround in their milk business, a market with a lot of similar challenges to bakery.
