Growing salad and vegetable company Freshtime has boosted its management team with the addition of former chef Bryan Nelson.
Nelson, who has been working in the food industry for 20 years, will handle Freshtime’s three largest retail customers in his role of national account manager.
Having opened a restaurant in Aberdeen, Nelson has also previously worked as commercial manager at Young’s Seafood and new business manager at 2 Sisters Food Group.
“This business is ready to expand and I’m looking forward to being part of it,” he said. “Our managing director Mark Newton was a huge influence on my decision to come here. I knew the company before I joined; Mark has told me about his plans for the future and it’s ready to take off.”
Newton confirmed that the company is in the process of building a strong team to take Freshtime to the next level. “Bryan has extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the food industry and will be a real asset to the company,” he said.
Freshtime employs around 350 people and supplies prepared vegetables and salads to multiple retailers and food service operators.
