New managing director for Nestlé Professional

Stephens, who will start his new role from 1 February, replaces David Field who is taking up a global role within the company. Stephens moves across from the retail division of Nestlé SA, where he previously headed up the Tesco Global Business Team. In addition, he was Nestlé UK food & beverage sales director prior to his global role. He commented on his new role: "I'm very much looking forward to building on the solid foundations that have been put in place over the last few years and will continue to put emphasis on using our insights, knowledge and branded propositions to add value to our customers and their operations."
