Ben Dale has work at Jestic since it was formed in 2005 and has held the role of commercial director for the last ten years.
He will be supported by sales director, Steve Morris; service director, Neill Pearson; and Michael Eyre, who will take on the newly formed role of culinary director.
Owner Martin Beesley, said: “As commercial director, Ben has been instrumental in helping the company to have grown year on year and I am delighted that he will now be taking on this new role. I would like to wish him every success in the new position and look forward to working with him closely as we move into 2017 and beyond.”
Early in 2016 Jestic took on the sole distribution rights of the Sveba Dahlen brand in the UK, which will see the introduction of a new bakery kitchen at the Paddock Wood site in spring 2017.
