Greencore chairman Ned Sullivan said: “I would like to pay tribute to the leadership and achievement of David Dilger in his role as our chief executive since he assumed the position in 1995. Supported by the executive team that he has built, David has successfully transformed Greencore into one of Europe’s leading convenience foods producers.”
Dilger said it was the “ideal time” to leave Greencore. “Greencore has never been in better shape,” he added.
