Nicholson drinks to new forum role
The East Midlands’ Food and Drink Forum has appointed Mark Nicholson as its new manufacturing innovation manager. Nicholson will offer support to businesses across the region in his role at the organisation.
He will operate across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire and Rutland to help the region’s food and drink manufacturers operate more efficiently.
Previously an adviser with Business Link Yorkshire, Nicholson has spent 17 years in food sector operations. He has worked in the frozen sector for McCain, in confectionery for Needlers, and in fresh produce for MBM.
Fiona Anderson, managing director of The Food and Drink Forum, which is based at the Business Centre at Southglade Food Park, Nottingham, said: “Mark’s appointment will help The Food and Drink Forum to build on the support that we offer the sector in the East Midlands.
"Manufacturing efficiencies can bring immediate cost savings, as well as a range of other benefits, and are a popular service that we offer to our members and on a commercial basis to food and drink firms around the region.”
