The company, formed in 2016, owns brands such as McVitie’s, Jacob’s, Ülker and Godiva. It boasts a global team of 16,000 across 27 bakeries in 11 countries, stating that it has the potential to reach four billion consumers worldwide.

Pladis will be provisionally run by chief financial officer Sridhar Ramamurthy, along with Tim Brett, managing director Europe.
