DIRECTORATE CHANGE
Appointment of Peter Haden to the Board
Greencore Group plc ('Greencore' or the 'Group'), a leading
manufacturer of convenience food in the UK, is delighted to
announce the appointment of Peter Haden to the Board as Executive
Director with effect from 21 May 2019. In parallel, he will take up
the role of Chief Operating Officer ('COO') of Greencore Group. In
that role, he will have responsibility for running the day to day
business, strengthening our organisation, and building our
capability.
Peter joined Greencore in January 2015 as Chief Development
Officer, and was appointed Chief Executive Officer ('CEO') of the
UK division in July 2018. His transition to the Group COO and Board
roles reflects both the fact that the Group now has a single,
integrated leadership structure, following the disposal of its US
business in November 2018, and his sustained contribution to the
operational and strategic agenda of the Group.
Commenting on Peter's appointment, Gary Kennedy, Chairman of
Greencore, said: "Peter has made an outstanding contribution to
Greencore in a number of senior roles since joining us in 2015, and
his promotion to the Board is well deserved. His strategic mind-set
and operational expertise will be invaluable as Greencore looks to
drive performance and pursue the range of compelling growth
opportunities that we see in the UK convenience food market."
Prior to joining Greencore, Peter was a Partner with McKinsey
& Co. where he led the UK Consumer Practice. Before McKinsey,
he was a brand manager with Procter & Gamble.
There is no further information to be disclosed pursuant to
