Noble Foods, owner of the UK-based free-range egg supplier The Happy Egg Co. and premium pudding brand Gü Puds, has appointed British businessman John Gildersleeve as chairman to oversee strategic plans for “diversification and acquisition”.
The company said the appointment of Gildersleeve, who served on the board of Tesco for 20 years, follows the restructuring of its own board and a number of senior management appointments to support its “long-term ambitions in the UK and overseas”.
