After seven years at the helm of Food from Britain (FFB), David McNair (pictured) will step down as Chief Executive to take early retirement at the end of May.
David oversaw a period of tremendous change in the UK food &drinks industry, and he leaves at a time when UK exports are predicted to reach their highest ever level at over £10billion.

'It has been a real pleasure and privilege to lead FFB and to serve the British food & drink industry during this time,' he said. 'I am sure FFB will continue to go from strength to strength, assisting the market development of its clients both within the UK and internationally.'

FFB Chairman, Lady Sylvia Jay said: 'David has worked hard for Food from Britain and consistently met the targets set for him and the organisation. His extensive knowledge of the British food & drink industry worldwide has served FFB and its numerous clients well. He merits a more relaxed future and, on behalf of FFB's Council, I should like to thank him and to wish him every continued success in the years ahead.'
