The Food Standards Agency has appointed Julia Unwin as its new deputy chair.
Unwin is already a board member of the National Consumer Council, an independent adjudicator for the Audit Commission and an independent board member of the DTI. She was also a charity commissioner from 1998 to April 2003 as well as holding other key board positions.
Chair of the Agency Sir John Krebs said Unwin would be a great asset to the FSA. "She brings with her a wealth of knowledge of both public and private sector organisations, as well as a track record in championing consumer rights."
Unwin said she was delighted to join the FSA. "Food policy has the potential to have a huge impact on the well-being of all consumers," said Unwin. "As a champion of the consumer I also have a particular interest in disadvantaged groups. I hope that my experience in this area will add a new dimension to the Agency's important work."
