Dairygold names business development manager

Cheese supplier Dairygold Food Ingredients UK Ltd (DFI) has appointed Cherie Froude as its new business development manager. In addition to managing a number of industrial accounts for formatted cheese, part of her brief is to focus on the company’s range of cheeses.

Commenting on her appointment, Froude notes, “Part of my brief is to develop cheese powders and soft cheeses, growing sales and finding new sales areas. Cheese powders are an exciting growth product for DFI. They’re manufactured in our French production site from natural cheese and dairy ingredients, and deliver the characteristic flavour of cheese in a versatile and user-friendly format.

Froude spent the three years prior to her DFI appointment working for multi-national dairy company Fonterra in Hamburg, Germany, as an applications technologist, showing customers how to use Fonterra’s dairy-based products.

Prior to that she spent four years in her homeland of New Zealand working in production development.
