He will take responsibility for products including ready meals, biscuits, bakery and frozen pizza, the Fox’s biscuits and Goodfella’s pizza owner said. Walker will retain his current remit for procurement and supply chain.
The company is still recruiting for the protein CEO role, which encompasses all poultry and red meat operations in the UK and the Netherlands.
Divisional managing directors Aart Voets (European poultry), Steve Ellis (UK & 2 Sisters poultry), Jose Peralta (red meat) and Olivier Goudineau (added value) will eventually report to the COO of protein.
