The British Retail Consortium (BRC) has appointed Mark Proctor as CEO of its commercial arm BRC Trading.

BRC Trading, which is known for its suite of BRC Global Stanards, is one of the world’s largest providers of product safety and sets quality standards for food manufacturing, storage and packaging.

Proctor, who has a background in food safety after working for organisations such as Exova and the European Food Safety Inspection Services (EFSIS) in the past, has been appointed to 'boost international growth', according to the BRC.

A spokesperson said of the appointment: “Mark’s understanding and experience of working with European and US retailers and manufacturers will be particularly valuable.

“He will take responsibility for building on the strong position of the BRC Global Standards - both in the UK and internationally - by seeking and utilising growth opportunities from new markets and from developing the Global Standards themselves, and associated services.”

Proctor will take up the role from 10 June.
