Boparan Holdings Limited (BHL), the parent company of the 2 Sisters Food Group, has announced the appointment of Paul Friston as its new Group Chief Financial Officer.
He will join the 2 Sisters Food Group business in early February and become a member of the BHL Board.
Friston has previously worked for 28 years at Marks & Spencer, with roles in senior finance, strategy, commercial, and transformation, as well as holding the post of Managing Director of the retailer’s international business for six years.
At 2 Sisters Food, he will take over from Nigel Williams, who is returning to Australia for family reasons.
Ranjit Singh, President of BHL, said: “I am delighted to welcome Paul to 2 Sisters. He joins at an extremely important time for the business, and I look forward to working closely with him as we execute our ambitious sustainability and investment plans in the coming years, which will shape our business for the next generation.”
Friston added: “2 Sisters is a dynamic business, I know it well and very much respect it as a food manufacturing leader in the UK, so I am extremely happy to be joining the team.
“There are clearly many challenges for the food sector in such a competitive and cost-conscious environment, but the potential of a business as ambitious and significant as 2 Sisters is a truly exciting prospect. I look forward to playing my part in taking the company forward.”
