Bakkavor appoints non-executive directors
Own-label food manufacturer Bakkavor has appointed two non-executive directors, as part of the company’s plans for growth in the UK and internationally.
The appointment of Denis Hennequin (right) and Simon Burke (left) reflected their wealth of senior management experience in the food and retail sectors, said the company.
Burke is currently a non-executive director of the Cooperative Group and the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Hennequin is currently a non-executive director of Eurostar International, John Lewis Partnership and foodservice firm SSP Group.
Bakkavor group chairman Lydur Gudmundsson said: “We are delighted to welcome Denis and Simon to Bakkavor.
“As we continue to deliver against our successful strategy and, in particular, pursue further growth in the UK and internationally, both Denis and Simon bring invaluable new skills to our board.”
