Glanbia boss joins Greencore board

Food group Greencore has appointed John Moloney, group managing director with Glanbia, as a non-executive director.

Mr Moloney (58) is also a non-executive director of business services group DCC.

"John adds further deep sectoral and international experience to the board, which will help support the group's next phase of development," chairman Gary Kennedy said of the appointment.

In its first trading update of 2013, Greencore, which moved its listing to London last year, reported revenue of £298.9 million for the 13 weeks to December 28th.

Greencore is now the biggest player in the "food to go" category in the UK, supplying major retailers and supermarkets including Waitrose, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Marks & Spencer.
