Dr Steven Walker has been appointed director-general designate of Campden BRI.

Walker will assume the role on the retirement of Professor Colin Dennis CBE later this year.

Bob Clarke, chairman of Campden BRI, said: “I am very much looking forward to working with Steven in the further development and strengthening of Campden BRI. These are exciting times as we begin to deliver the benefits of the recent merger between the former Campden & Chorleywood Food Research Association (CCFRA) and Brewing Research International (BRI), including the increasingly international outlook of the business.

“Steven knows the business extremely well, having 22 years’ service with 14 of those at director level,” said Clarke. “He has played a major role in both the scientific and commercial aspects of the business, has worked closely with our members, government and trade bodies on many issues, and has been actively involved in the evaluation of other research organisations in the UK and overseas. He is ideally placed to take the business forward."

Campden & Chorleywood Food Research Association, which merged last year with BRI to form Campden BRI, was exhibiting in Berlin.
