UK canned fish giant Princes' executive Craig Price stepped down from his role as chief executive commercial on June 30, the company said.

“We thank [Price] for the significant contribution that he has made to the company and wish him the best for the future," a spokesperson at Princes told IntraFish.

Price is leaving the Mitsubishi-owned group after working at the company for 24 years.

He was appointed chief executive commercial in April 2017, at the time that executives Cameron Mackintosh and Stephen Cardall were appointed managing director, and CFO, respectively.
