Young’s appoints new sales director from Morrisons

Green, who is currently category director for fresh seafood at Morrisons, will start the role on April 7 2014.

Before joining Morrisons in 2009, he held a number of senior sales roles across the frozen and chilled categories of Young’s.

‘Huge asset to the company’​

Wayne Hudson, md for Young’s frozen food division, said: “I am pleased that we have managed to attract someone of Green’s calibre. His all-round experience and passion for seafood will be a huge asset to our company.”​

Green will take over from Liam Pickup, who will leave Young’s at the end of May to pursue other career opportunities.

Hudson said: “Pickup joined Young’s in 2011. During this time, he has been instrumental in building the competitiveness of our frozen brand. I would like to thank him for all his efforts and contribution to our business over the past three years and wish him well in his future career.”​

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Young’s ceo Leendert de Hollander quit the business​ after four years with the firm.
