FDF appoints new director of sustainability and competitiveness
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) has appointed Andrew Kuyk CBE to the post of director of sustainability and competitiveness, with immediate effect.
Kuyk joins FDF following a long and distinguished civil service career based mainly in the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and its predecessor MAFF where, among other roles, he held the position of deputy director of the Natural Environment Group.
Kuyk’s remit is to build on, and take forward, the significant progress FDF has made in the key areas of sustainability and competitiveness.
FDF director general Melanie Leech said: “Sustainability continues to be a huge issue for the food industry. Kuyk’s wide experience within government will be hugely beneficial to his new role, and I am delighted to welcome him as part of the FDF senior team.”
