Mike Corbett is now a technical manager at Tesco

Mike Corbett has left his position as technical director at tropical fruit supplier Compagnie Fruitiere UK (CFUK) after a company restructure meant his role was “made redundant”.

Corbett, who was at the company for four and a half years, is now working for Tesco as technical manager for ambient salads. He will be based at the retailer’s Cheshunt headquarters before moving to Welwyn Garden City when the company relocates.

“Due to recent restructures within the company, it was with regret that Mike’s position of technical director was made redundant,” a spokesperson from CFUK said. “It was a pleasure to have worked with Mike and we wish him every success in his new role.”

CFUK procurement manager George Beedell has also left the business. He had been in the role for four and a half years.
