Rob Smith
Robert Smith has been appointed as new market director at the Danish Agricultural and Food Council in the UK. He will take over the new role in June from John Howard, who is to retire shortly.
For the last two years, Smith has managed his own marketing consultancy (Blue Fish Marketing) and previously held senior marketing and communication roles at Vion Foods and the Dutch Meat Board.
His marketing career began in the dairy industry with the National Dairy Council.
Howard will be retiring shortly after 30 years in the Danish meat industry.
“The breadth of his experience makes him an ideal choice to help meet the many challenges facing our trade and I know he’ll be an excellent ambassador for Denmark in a vital export market for the whole of the Danish food and farming industry,” said Howard.
