Bell was most recently senior sales director for Mars’ UK chocolate business but, after 20 years with the confectionery giant, he has decided to take a newly-created role at Findus.
Bell will be responsible for channel and customer strategy as well as category management across Findus’ frozen business in the UK and Ireland. He will report to Leendert den Hollander, MD of Findus’ operations in the two markets.
Den Hollander said: “I am excited about the plans we have for 2011 and beyond and the quality of the team we are assembling to deliver them. We have three immediate priorities: to reignite sustainable growth, strengthen our brands and build a reputation as a category partner with our customers.”
