Wrap would “start the process of recruiting a successor shortly”, said Gover

Wrap CEO Marcus Gover has announced he is to leave the organisation, after six years at the helm.

Gover, who will stand down at the end of the year, said the environmental challenges facing the industry had “never been greater”, with Wrap having become more focused on climate change during his leadership.

Wrap has played a key role in the industry’s fight against food waste, as well as the war on plastic, both of which faced major challenges during the pandemic.

“Wrap is an organisation with huge ambition to both grow its impact in the UK and internationally,” said Gover. “Our core purpose is to tackle climate change and protect our planet by changing the way things are produced, consumed and disposed of. That challenge has never been greater.

“We will start the process of recruiting a successor shortly and I will continue to be involved in Wrap supporting the transition to new leadership. I am keen to continue with my passion to tackle climate change and will be looking for opportunities that allow me to continue to contribute to the net zero agenda.”
