Irénke Meekma has been appointed CEO at Koninklijke Zeelandia Groep. The highly experienced senior executive, who has a background in production and purchasing, was managing director of the Fresh/Bakker Division at Greenyard for the last 13 years following a successful and upwardly mobile career at Albert Heijn.

A 'path to recovery' for the food industry has just been published by the Northern Ireland Food and Drink Association (NIFDA). It contains proposals outlining action that the UK government and industry can take to "future proof the sector"

The baking industry sees the appointment of two new CEOs this month. Felix Egger was confirmed in the role of CEO by the RONDO’s board of directors, and Roger Butler, chairman of Whitworth Bros and Carr's Flour mills, takes over as CEO of the National Association of British and Irish Millers (NABIM)
