Noble Foods has announced that Steve Murrells has joined the business as a Non-Executive Director.
The board appointment follows Murrells stepping down from the CEO role at the Co-op earlier this year. He had previously held executive positions at Tulip, Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
At Noble Foods, Murrells will work alongside the Board and Executive team to guide the business through the current challenging trading conditions. The group stated that together with Chair, Sarah Dean, and CEO Duncan Everett, Murrells will influence the future growth of the business, its brands and innovations.
Murrells said: “This is a purpose-led business, with a strong focus on their people, animal welfare and their impact on the planet. Strengths which are deeply important to me. I’m delighted to have joined the team and been welcomed so warmly. Over 100 years since the business first began, now is truly an exciting time to join the Noble Foods family”.
Noble Foods owns several brands, including ‘the happy egg co.’ and Purely Organic.
Everett commented: “This is an important time for Noble Foods as we grow and develop our business across both core elements of egg and animal feed and Steve’s wealth of retail and food experience is a fantastic addition to our Board. We welcome his challenge, insight and guidance in the years to come.”
