Former Diageo boss succeeds Leech at FDF
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) completed its three-month search for a successor to Melanie Leech with the appointment of former Diageo director Ian Wright as director general.
Jim Moseley, a former president of the federation, will continue as acting director general until Wright takes on the role before Easter.
President of the FDF, Dame Fiona Kendrick, said Wright was “ideally qualified” to champion the sector during a period of change.
