Kerry Group today announced the appointment of Nick Robinson as the new chief executive of Kerry Foods.

Robinson, who currently serves as the managing director of consumer brands for Kerry Foods, will take up the new role over the next two months in place of Duncan Everett who leaves the company.

“[Nick] is stepping into this role at a very interesting time as the food industry responds in innovative ways to the changing consumer behaviours resulting from COVID-19,” commented Edmond Scanlon, Kerry Group chief executive.

“I look forward to working with Nick and his team to further grow our business across the UK and Ireland. I would also like to thank Duncan for his support and commitment and recognise the significant contribution he has made to consumer foods and the wider Kerry business over the past 25 years.”

Robinson joined Kerry Foods in 2017 as the chief marketing officer and assumed the role of managing director in January 2019.

He has previously worked in a variety of sales, commercial and marketing roles with Diageo, Coca-Cola and AB InBev where he was the North Europe marketing director.
