We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Potter as our new Managing Director.
Following 12 years of dedication and commitment to Turner Price, Steve, previously Operations Director, has stepped into the role following the retirement of Paul Brittain. Steve brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and passion for the business and our people.
He has played a pivotal role in strengthening our operational performance and service-level standards throughout his time here and during his time on our board as Operations Director, for the past 2 years.
Commenting on his appointment, Steve said: “It is an honour to take on the role of Managing Director and to follow such a respected and successful leader as Paul. My focus will be on ensuring Turner Price remains a trusted food partner for our customers across the UK and around the world, while continuing to invest in our people, infrastructure and capabilities to support our ambitious growth plans.
“We have an incredibly talented and committed team, and I look forward to working alongside our Board of Directors, senior management team and the Caterfood Buying Group as we continue to build on the company’s success.”
Paul Brittain has been a member of the Turner Price leadership team for 24 years. Having served as Finance Director for more than two decades, he was appointed Managing Director in 2024 following the company’s move into the Caterfood Buying Group. Following his retirement, Brittain will continue to support the business in an advisory capacity, ensuring a smooth leadership transition.
Reflecting on his retirement, Paul said: “Although it was a difficult decision, retirement will give me more time to spend with my family and enjoy some well-earned free time. Turner Price has been a huge part of my life for almost 24 years, and I will greatly miss our fantastic people and loyal customers.
“I have every confidence that Steve, together with the Board and wider leadership team, will continue to drive Turner Price forward. The business has exciting plans for future investment, expansion and growth, and I look forward to watching and supporting its continued success.”
We look forward to this next chapter under Steve’s leadership and to continuing the strong foundations of Turner Price.
