Hello,
just a quick update for interest:
Continuing my passion for the food & drink industry, I joined Samworth Brothers, one of the largest chilled and ambient food manufacturers, in April as Group Chief Executive. Our 12,500 colleagues source, make and deliver delicious food enjoyed by millions of people across the UK every day. Our customers include the major supermarkets, convenience and food service groups.
We make millions of pies, sandwiches, salads, wraps, deli counter products and prepared meals every week for the retailers, and we own some of the most popular food brands such as Ginsters, Higgidy, Urban Eat and Soreen.
The food industry has been deeply tested in recent years, through Covid and labour shortages, and now rampant inflation and supply chain challenges. It is never a dull moment!
I was previously CEO of Brakes, the UK's leading foodservice distributor.
It's good to keep in touch!
Best wishes,
Hugo Mahoney, Harbinger 1983-88
