FDF President Gavin Neath will supervise arrangements for the open recruitment of her successor.
“Sylvia Jay has provided outstanding leadership for FDF during a period of unprecedented political and media focus on our industry,” Neath said. “During that time she has strengthened FDF organisationally and financially; built and maintained links with the rest of the food chain, and overseen a step change in the level and quality of our industry’s representation.”
“On behalf of the UK food and drink manufacturing industry I thank her and wish her well in her new challenges,” he said.
“It has been a great privilege to work with this wonderful industry at a time of enormous change,” said Sylvia Jay. “I am glad to say that FDF is well placed to face the challenges of the future.”
