Institute of Food Research appoints new chairman
The Institute of Food Research (IFR) appointed Dr Tim Brears as its new chairman this month, following the retirement of Peter Lillford from the IFR board.
Brears, who is currently chief executive of Gendaq, said he was delighted to be joining the board – based on the Norwich Research Park.
“Through its internationally recognised research, the Institute plays a vital and unique role in supporting a key sector that is fundamental for human health and is constantly on the political agenda,” Brears added.
David Boxer, IFR ceo, said Brears would bring a “very valuable combination” of experience to the role.
