LoBue Citrus has chosen Duncan Marriott to be its first business development manager.
Marriott, a descendant of one of the founders of foodservice giant Pacific Gamble Robinson (now Food Services of America), joins the company from Family Tree, a Californian stonefruit grower-shipper.
Rick Osterhues, LoBue's vice-president of domestic sales and marketing, said: "Duncan is known for his integrity and ability to consistently deliver added value to customers."
The appointment is effective immediately.
