Dr Phil Hadley, AHDB International Trade Development Director, said:

“Export activity has been highlighted by red meat and dairy levy payers as a part of AHDB’s work that they highly value and want to see more of. Richard and Tanveer are fantastic additions to the team and their appointments underline our commitment to delivering valued services to our levy payers.

“AHDB has a long-established record of working collaboratively with industry and the Government to help secure access to new markets and helping our exporters develop trade links with buyers in markets around the world.

“Richard and Tanveer will provide us with additional resource to help us continue to deliver valued services to our levy payers and help the quality red meat and dairy from the UK flourish on the global stage.”
