Nomad Foods Managing Director in the United Kingdom, Wayne Hudson, is leaving the company at the end of the year.
Hudson joined the frozen food giant in January 2016 as managing director of Birds Eye UK & Ireland, where he led a turnaround of the brand before expanding his remit to include the Nordic region in 2020 and Nomad Foods International business in 2021.
Hudson said the time was right to move away from full-time executive responsibilities and spend more time with his family. He added he remained open to other options such as non-executive or advisory roles.
“By December 2022, I will have spent the last seven years at Nomad Foods and nearly 40 in the FMCG industry,” he said.
“I am extremely grateful to Stefan [Descheemaeker] for the opportunity to join Nomad Foods at the start of its journey, and I am both privileged and proud to have been part of the Nomad team and all it has achieved over the past seven years.”
Prior to his time with Nomad Foods, Hudson was managing director of the frozen division at UK frozen and chilled seafood supplier Young’s Seafood.
Nomad has started a recruitment process to find Hudson’s successor.
