Tangerine Confectionery has appointed Nigel Nelson as operations and supply chain director.

Nelson replaces David Prosser, who left Tangerine in October. He joins from Schwartz brand owner McCormick where he was operations and supply chain director in charge of facilities in the UK, South Africa and Turkey. He has also held senior operations roles at Hero Group and Pegler.

His appointment follows a senior management reshuffle last summer following the arrival of CEO Graham Hunter.

Sales director David Liburn and marketing director Alison Brand were replaced by James Langen. Group procurement director David Mitchell also left.
