“My priority is to continue to bring all departments together behind a clear strategy and a shared vision for success. By strengthening customer engagement, developing sales opportunities and building on our own-brand offering, we can continue to grow the business while delivering the service our customers expect.”
Meanwhile, Davinson’s areas of focus will include transport efficiency and compliance, warehouse productivity, health and safety, stock management, customer service and cost control.
He said: “The foodservice sector is becoming increasingly complex, with rising costs, evolving regulatory requirements and ever-higher customer expectations. There is a real opportunity to help members strengthen their operations, share expertise and achieve sustainable improvements.
“My approach is collaborative rather than directive. Every member business has its own culture, structure and way of working, and the best solutions are developed alongside the people who understand the business and operate it every day,” he added.
