Warburtons managing director Neil Campbell has left one of the UK’s largest bakery companies after more than eight years in the post.

Campbell joined the family-owned group in January 2014 from PepsiCo, where he led the company’s then Tropicana Beverages North America unit.

No reason was given for Campbell’s departure, which has been confirmed with Companies House.

Just Food has made repeated requests to Warburtons for comment.

According to local media reports, chairman Jonathan Warburton has taken on the role of managing director.

Cousins Brett and Ross Warburton also sit on the bread maker’s board. In December, grocery industry veteran Andrew Higginson was appointed to a director role.
