Dairy Crest strengthens milk purchasing team

Dairy Crest has added to its milk purchasing team with the recruitment of a new commercial director.

Liz Broadbent will join the dairy processor from the Milk Development Council in April.

Ms Broadbent said she planned to build on relationships the dairy already has with Waitrose, Marks and Spencer and Sainsbury’s.

“I also hope to strengthen links between dairy farmers and consumers,” she added.

Dairy Crest said it was also looking to recruit a specialist organic milk supply manager to oversee its growing number of organic milk suppliers.
