Dairy Crest has appointed Stephen Alexander chairman after Anthony Fry’s illness led him to step down from the UK dairy group.
Alexander, who has been a director at the Cathedral City cheese group since 2011, replaces Fry with immediate effect. Fry was taken ill earlier this year. Richard Macdonald, who has been acting chairman while Fry has been unable to work, will resume his role as senior independent director.

Chief executive Mark Allen said: “It is sad that Anthony will no longer chair the Board. Anthony has had a significant influence on the business since his appointment as a non-executive director in 2007, and especially since he became chairman in 2010. I shall miss working with him.”
He added: “Stephen has been a very strong non-executive and makes an excellent replacement. I am looking forward to working more closely with him.”
According to the Dairy Crest website, Alexander is an operating partner at private-equity firm OpCapita.
