Nairn’s, one of the largest gluten-free food manufacturers in the UK, has appointed a new Managing Director, Colin Dingwall, and a new Marketing Director, Kevin Butterworth.
Dingwall is currently Nairn’s Finance Director and is stepping up to the top job in May 2024. Previously, he was Director of Finance and Investor Relations at C&C Group and, prior to that, held a number of senior finance roles at Heineken UK.

Meanwhile, Butterworth joined Nairn’s yesterday, having previously been Chief Marketing Officer at Symington’s for five years. Prior to that, he was Marketing and International Sales Director at Seabrook Crisps.
Nairn’s Chairman, Mark Laing, commented: “I am delighted that Colin will succeed Martyn as Managing Director. As Finance Director for the last seven years, Colin has steered the finances of the business with a firm hand and has provided excellent strategic guidance to the company.”
