New president elected for Food and Drink Federation

Moseley will be replacing current FDF president Ross Warburton and his term will start on 1 January 2011. For the past four years in his current role Moseley has been chairing its Food Safety and Scientific Steering Group and acting as the UK representative on the Board of the European Food and Drink Federation, CIAA. He has been managing director of General Mills UK & Ireland since 1999 and has seen the company's turnover more than double during his time with the company. He has also worked in categories including meat, ice-cream, canned vegetables, home baking and sports drinks. Moseley said: "Ross has done a great job in ensuring that our sector's voice has been heard during a very challenging period of major political change and great economic uncertainty. During my Presidency I want to build on his achievements in raising the profile of our important sector and working in partnership with Government to ensure that the future success of our industry underpins the UK's economic recovery." Warburton added: "I am delighted to be handing the baton on to Jim. He is already playing an important part in FDF's success and I know that under his leadership FDF will continue to flourish."
