Convenience food manufacturer Greencore has announced that Catherine Gubbins has been appointed to the role of Chief Financial Officer.
She is expected to join the company and take up her role in early 2024. Jonathan Solesbury, who joined Greencore as Interim Chief Financial Officer in June, will continue in his role to help with the transition.
Gubbins will join Greencore from daa plc, the global airports and travel retail group, having worked there for nine years in various finance roles, including as Director of Finance and since March 2021, as Group CFO.
Before moving to daa, she spent 16 years as a Senior Manager in assurance and business advisory with PwC Ireland.
The company’s Chair, Leslie Van de Walle, commented: “We are delighted to appoint Catherine as CFO of Greencore. Following a rigorous selection process, we are pleased to have been able to attract a candidate of Catherine’s calibre to the Board. She brings a wealth of experience that will be of significant benefit to the Group.”
Dalton Philips, Chief Executive Officer, added: “She has a proven track record as a CFO and has shown outstanding leadership through both smooth and more challenging times. Having worked with Catherine, I know what a great asset she will be to our business as we continue on our journey to rebuild profitability and create the platform necessary to support our future growth.”
