Allied Bakeries, owner of market leading bread
brands Kingsmill, Allinson, Burgen and Sunblest, today announces a
new appointment to further strengthen its supply chain offering to
retailers.
Jacquie Cahill will join Allied Bakeries on 1st
September as Supply Chain Director and will be responsible for
overseeing logistics operations, reporting into company CEO Mark
Fairweather. Jacquie will work across a wide range of projects,
including Project Athena, an investment initiative launched earlier
this year, which aims to improve business performance by delivering
unrivalled customer service.
Jacquie comments: "Allied Bakeries is paving the way for the bakery
industry through its continued investment in people, infrastructure
and its brands. There couldn't be a better time for me to join this
dynamic and innovative company and I look forward to leading a team
that I know to have a proven track record in delivering excellent
results."
The appointment sees a return to the bakery industry for Jacquie,
who previously worked at Allied Bakeries as Supply Chain
Development Manager between May 2005 and September 2007, before
leaving to take on the role of Global Supply Director at
pharmaceutical giant, AstraZeneca.
Jacquie replaces Paul Longley, who will be retiring from Allied
Bakeries after 37 years of service at the end of September. During
his time with the company, Paul contributed to positioning Allied
Bakeries as a business that consistently delivers world class
service to major retailers, convenience stores, food service
outlets and the wholesale sector. He leaves the logistics team with
the skills to deliver unrivalled service levels that set Allied
Bakeries apart from the competition.
