Love Irish Food, the representative organisation for Irish food and drink producers, has named Conor Kilduff as its new executive director.
Mr Kilduff takes over in November from Kieran Rumley, who is retiring from the post after holding the position since 2011.
Mr Kilduff was previously Managing Director and VP of Customer Development at Unilever Ireland and Sales and Marketing Director at Keelings.
Love Irish Food was founded in 2009 with the aim of helping consumers make informed choices about buying Irish manufactured food and drinks.
It now represents over 130 member brands, including household names such as Ballymaloe, Club Orange, Ballygowan, Cadbury, Flahavan's, Glenisk, Keelings and Tayto, together with retailer partner Tesco Ireland.
The group said that Mr Rumley will continue in his role as non-executive Director on the Board.
