Veg firm’s fresh appointment
Freshtime appointed former Morrisons man Alistair Whitaker as its new category manager, as part of the firm’s growth plans.
Whitaker has also held roles at Asda, Punch Supply, Empire World Trade, Winchester Growers and Worldwide Fruit.
The Lincolnshire fruit and veg producer also took on recent Manchester University Food Technology graduate Sam Reed as graduate development technologist.
Newton said he was “delighted” with the new recruits.
“We are progressively building a team with a really strong skill set, and our performance as a business is going from strength to strength as a result,” he claimed.
