LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Food company Greencore Group revealed on Thursday that chief executive officer Patrick Coveney was set to step down from the role in order to join food and beverage outlets operator SSP Group.

Coveney said: "I am absolutely delighted to be appointed as SSP's next group CEO as it builds back from the pandemic. The business has a strong Board, a highly experienced leadership team and thousands of dedicated colleagues across the world. It also has a clear strategy, deep relationships with client and brand partners, and a robust balance sheet.

"I look forward to working with the teams to seize the many opportunities that lie ahead and to delivering future growth and returns for SSP and its shareholders."
