“I am absolutely delighted that Di will be the new chief executive of Convenience Foods UK” said Greencore chief executive Patrick Coveney. “Di is an outstanding leader in our business with deep industry knowledge, a hard performance edge and excellent people skills who will bring passion and tremendous energy to the new role”.

A spokesperson for Greencore told just-food that the roles were new and that the company had “added a new layer” into the organisation.
