Former Vion boss takes helm of BFP
Bakery ingredient supplier BFP Wholesale appointed former Vion Food Group and Langmead Farms boss Bill Thurston as ceo.
He joined BFP from Alshaya Group, where he was vice president of its food division.
The new appointment follows BFP’s acquisition by David Burresi and Sebastian Sipp, co-founders of ZIMT Partners, in July 2014.
Burresi said: “Thurston is an exceptional leader with an extensive track record and we are delighted to welcome him to BFP. His experience will be invaluable to the successful implementation of our investment plan that sees the introduction of new people, processes and technology.”
