2. Hilton
Change is taking place at the top of Hilton Food Group, the international value-added meat processing group, with the retirement of two of its board members in May: non-executive chairman Sir David Naish and non-executive director Chris Marsh.
Naish joined Hilton in 2007 as a non-executive director, after retiring from the chairmanship of Arla Foods UK and was elected chairman in 2010.
He is being replaced by Hilton non-executive director Colin Smith, who joined the company in 2010 and previously held a number of leading roles.
Two new appointments have also been made to the Hilton board. Christine Cross, a food scientist, who has extensive experience in retail, including at Tesco, where she worked on own-label development and sourcing, Next and Woolworths (Australia), joins the board.
Jon Worby has also joined. He comes with executive experience at Genus as group finance director and Cranswick, where he was a non-executive director.
