Mars Food UK and Mars Wrigley UK have announced two changes to their leadership teams.
Effective 1 May, Matt Boulter will take on the role of Sales Director at Mars Wrigley UK, as current SD Nick Reade joins Mars Food UK as General Manager.
Reade joined Mars Wrigley UK in 2015 as Channel Director before being appointed Sales Director in 2019. In his new role at Mars Food UK, Reade will report directly to Dave Dusangh, General Manager, Mars Food Europe.
Dusangh commented: “Nick is a purposeful leader with a great track record of driving quality category growth through mutual partnerships, and I look forward to seeing him bring his cross-functional experience to Mars Food UK as we continue on our journey to drive category value through our consumer favourite brands whilst making a positive impact on the world.”
Meanwhile, Boulter’s career at Mars has spanned 17 years, both in the UK and internationally, in roles across manufacturing, commercial, marketing, category and sales and most recently as UK Market Strategy and Operations Planning Director. In his new role as Sales Director, he will report to Adam Grant, General Manager, Mars Wrigley UK.
Grant said: “With the length and breadth of experience Matt has in our business, he is the right person to take the helm of our Sales function. Matt has played a key role in defining our strategic choices across the business for almost two decades, and he brings a brilliant international perspective and passion for building teams united behind a clear purpose.”
