Former Jacobs marketing director Graham Hunter has been appointed as Northern Foods’ group marketing director.
The company said that this newly created role supports its objective of enhancing key skills across the group, notably in manufacturing, marketing and sales development. Hunter will be responsible for product innovation, consumer and customer insight and category and brand development across Northern Foods.
Hunter left his position as marketing director at Jacobs four months after the company was acquired by United Biscuits last September. His experience has included developing and launching Celebrations for Mars and the development of Thai Bites for United Biscuits.
