Hovis boss quits for overseas opportunity
Hovis was left searching for a new boss after Bob Spooner announced he would quit the business in January.
Spooner was only appointed to the position six months ago, following the completion of a joint venture deal with investment firm The Gores Group.
He initially joined Premier Foods in 2007 as group supply chain director.
He said his decision was for personal reasons, driven by an overseas opportunity.
Nish Kankiwala, executive chairman, thanked Spooner for his “outstanding contribution” to Hovis.
