Wayne Milne has left his position as managing director of Newmafruit to become head of operations at fellow Kent fruit grower Bardsley Farms.
Milne joined Newmafruit in May of this year having previously worked at DPS-Fowler Welch joint venture Integrated Service Solutions (ISS).
He replaced former Newmafruit MD Tony Frankham who stepped down in October 2016 after six years in the role.
His new appointment follows a major period of investment at Bardsley Farms, which last year announced a topfruit JV with Univeg.
