Experienced Leader to Drive Growth and Mentor Talent at Leading UK Potato Supplier
Branston, one of the UK’s leading potato suppliers, has announced the appointment of Tanya Leonard as the new General Manager at its Lincoln site. This strategic appointment comes as part of Branston’s ambitious plans for growth and operational efficiency.
Tanya Leonard brings over 20 years of experience in the fresh produce industry, beginning her management career at the age of 17. Her journey in fresh produce started unexpectedly but soon turned into a passion that propelled her through various operational roles. Leonard’s extensive experience and commitment to continuous improvement make her a valuable addition to Branston’s leadership team.
Eidama naujas pareigas, Leonard daugiausia dėmesio skirs veiklos efektyvumo didinimui, Branstono inžinerinių funkcijų palaikymui ir būsimų technologijų plėtros lyderiui. Ji nori pritaikyti savo žinias, kad sustiprintų „Branston“ komandą ir prisidėtų prie nuolatinės įmonės sėkmės, įskaitant paramą „Branston“ košės ir baltymų gamybos įrenginių plėtrai.
Leonard is also a strong advocate for gender diversity in senior management positions within the fresh produce industry. She is dedicated to mentoring young talent and encouraging more women to pursue leadership roles. “Helping people grow within their roles is something I’m passionate about,” she said. “There is no ceiling for ambitious individuals, and I want to do all I can to help young people in the business progress.”
Her personal connection to the company is also notable, as Leonard’s daughter recently joined Branston as an HR administrator, further embedding their family’s commitment to the business.
Jimas Windle'as, „Branston“ generalinis direktorius, išreiškė susijaudinimą dėl naujo paskyrimo: „Tanya turi didžiulę patirtį šviežių produktų srityje ir užkrečiančią energiją savo vadovavimo stiliumi, kurie abu bus tikras mūsų Linkolno komandos pranašumas. Džiaugiamės, kad ji nusprendė prisijungti prie verslo, ir tikimės, kad ji pateiks naują požiūrį į veiklą, kai įžengsime į kitą augimo ir nuolatinio tobulėjimo etapą.
Branston’s commitment to innovation and leadership development, exemplified by this appointment, demonstrates its focus on driving forward the UK’s fresh produce industry.
