Snack-food giant Largo Foods has confirmed that Jeff Swan has been appointed managing director.
Swan joins from KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack Group, where he held the role of marketing director.
He previously held senior positions with some of the world’s leading branded FMCG companies, including Coca-Cola and Cadbury Mondelez.
Swan will work closely with the existing management team with a view to directing Largo Foods in the next stage of its development.
