FDF appoints director of sustainability

Kuyk joined the FDF following a civil service career based mainly in the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and its predecessor MAFF where, among other roles, he held the position of deputy director of the Natural Environment Group.

Kuyk also has experience in domestic and international policy on agricultural, trade and food industry issues, including postings in Brussels and Paris.

His remit is to build on, and take forward, the work FDF has carried out in the areas of sustainability and competitiveness.

FDF director general Melanie Leech said: “Sustainability continues to be a huge issue for the food industry.

“Andrew’s wide experience within government will be hugely beneficial to his new role, and I am delighted to welcome him as part of the FDF senior team,” she added.
