I’m looking forward to working closely with them as we continue to guide the organisation in its unique role in the food and consumer goods industry.”
Susan Barratt, CEO of IGD, said: “Our new trustees have joined the board at an extremely exciting time for IGD and a challenging one for our industry. From delivering compelling and actionable research through our Commercial Insight, to addressing critical social, economic and business issues through our Social Impact team, there are initiatives for all our trustees to be passionate about and get involved with. IGD is continually working to unite and inspire FMCG and ultimately, mobilise it as a force for good, and I’m thrilled to be continuing this work with our trustees.”
