Paul joins MFG from Applegreen plc where he was UK head of food operations, responsible for every new branded food development site opening with Subway, Greggs and Costa. He managed all aspects of their existing branded and non-branded food operations. Before this, Paul spent five years as group operations manager for James Graven & Sons, operating four service stations and two Budgens supermarkets. Richard Baker, MFG’s retail director said: “This is a key appointment for MFG as we strive to build a first class ‘food to go’ offer for our customers.” Apologies to OPW In the Winter edition of INSITE, OPW had an excellent two-page article charting their history. We mistakenly quoted Fibrelite as having revenues in excess of $8 billion. It should of course have read that the parent group – Dover Corporation had revenues of that amount.
