Seabrook Crisps appoints new chairman following buyout
Seabrook Crisps appointed Paul Monk as chairman of the new board set up following the LDC-backed £35M management buyout last week.
Monk will bring a wealth of senior management experience to the role, gained at Mars, Marks & Spencer, Golden Wonder, Finsbury Foods, Quorn and Burtons Biscuits.
He will join Seabrook Crisps chief executive Jonathan Bye, marketing director Kevin Butterworth, chief operating officer Daniel Woodwards, and commercial director Jon Wood on the board.
Ged Gould and Simon Braham of private equity house LDC will also sit on the board.
Monk said: “The management team has already started to build some momentum in the business and I look forward to working with them under Seabrook’s new, independent ownership.”
