Branston has appointed Tanya Leonard as the new general manager of its main site in Lincoln as part of “ambitious growth plans” in the UK, as Kristian Bayford reports for Fruitnet.
She has more than 20 years of experience in fresh produce across several operational roles. Her new position at Branston will focus on helping the business to operate more efficiently, maintaining the engineering function, and setting up for future development and technology opportunities.
Leonard is also keen to encourage other women into senior roles in the industry and is looking forward to mentoring the next generation of talent at the company.
“Branston is a really forward-thinking business, and fresh produce is at the heart of the whole operation, so I knew joining the team was an opportunity I didn’t want to miss,” she said.
“We’re looking forward to her bringing a fresh outlook on operations and helping us as we enter our next phase of growth and vision for continued improvement,” said Branston CEO Jim Windl.
