One of Produce World’s senior figures has decided to retire after six years in the post.
Its current non-executive chairman Paul Wilkinson is to step down from the company. Under Wilkinson’s leadership, Produce World’s sales have more than tripled with annual bottom and top line growth over the same period.
Produce World chief executive William Burgess said: “Paul has been an outstanding chairman, supporting me and my executive team through some very challenging and exciting times.
“He leaves the business in great shape and in a position where we are ready to take on future challenges and opportunities. Whilst the first half of 2010 was a particularly difficult trading period we are very confident about the year ahead. We wish Paul the very best of luck with his other ventures.”
The company is now searching for Wilkinson’s successor with the support of global executive search firm, Boyden.
