Campden BRI COO Pete Headridge to Take On Chief Executive Role

Pete Headridge will become the new chief executive of the Campden BRI Group following Chris Huscroft’s retirement on January 1, 2021. Huscroft joined Campden BRI in October 2018 as director of technology, then he became director of the centre of technical excellence and subsequently COO.

Tim Holmes, Chairman of the Campden BRI Group, said: “Campden BRI has faced unprecedented challenges in 2020 and Chris has guided the organization through this difficult period very effectively. The effort that Huscroft has put into Campden BRI over the past year to adapt the organization to a very different world has been immense and is something that the Board and I are very thankful for.”

Headridge will take over as chief executive following a year as COO. He brings with him many years’ experience in senior technical and quality roles at the Kellogg Company. Headridge commented: “This is an exciting time for Campden BRI. A new senior team has been brought together during 2020, with a number of key internal and external appointments. I look forward to working with them to deliver our exciting three-year growth strategy.”

Holmes added: “The Board and I would like to thank Huscroft for his commitment and excellent stewardship of the business throughout a difficult year and wish him well for his well-deserved retirement. We look forward to working with Headridge and the senior team as Campden BRI moves into the next exciting phase of its evolution.”
