Canadian food business Cinnaroll Bakeries has appointed a new CEO just a month after it was taken over by two investment firms.
Calgary-based Cinnaroll Bakeries is the company behind Cinnaroll by Baker Boys, a wholesale maker of branded baked products, and CinnZeo, a network of corporate-owned and franchised café style cinnamon roll stores.

It was acquired by investment firms Skidmore Development Group and SouthPac Partners last month for an undisclosed sum.
New CEO Turner has more than 25 years of experience in strategy development, distribution and general management, although his most recent role was not in the food sector. Prior to joining Cinnaroll, he was director, sales strategy and distribution for Canadian low cost airline WestJet.
Previously, he has held CEO, president, COO and executive/director roles with private and public companies in western Canada.
“Cinnaroll Bakeries is well positioned for growth in all areas and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with our experienced management team and board to expand our sales, operations and brands,” he said.
