Produce World Marshalls has appointed a new head of farm operations.
Christian Maltby will replace farming operations director Marcus Rayner who is leaving to join Finlays Horticulture in Kenya, which is part of the Swire Group.
Maltby is moving over from Barfoots Farms, where he worked as a Farm Manager during a period of rapid expansion.
He also spent two seasons in West Africa working with a Senegalese partner farm, implementing management systems, training new managers and identifying new areas for strategic improvement.
Produce World said Christian and Marcus will be working together during January and February to ensure a seamless transition of responsibilities within the business.
Produce World Marshall’s managing director Keith Pringle said: “Marcus has excelled in bringing innovation to Produce World and has developed an accomplished team, leaving the farming side of Produce World Marshalls in a strong position for the future.
"However, we are delighted to welcome Christian to the business, given his previous experience in the UK and overseas managing a diverse range of crops across a variety of locations.”
