BFP appoints chief executive
BFP Wholesale Limited (BFP), a UK-based wholesaler of bakery ingredients, has appointed Bill Thurston as chief executive. The new appointment follows BFP’s acquisition by David Burresi and Sebastian Sipp, co-founders of ZIMT Partners, in July 2014.
Bill Thurston has three decades of experience in the manufacturing and distribution sectors with a strong track record in achieving strategic business growth, margin and customer service improvement in mature and developing markets.
David Burresi says, “Bill is an exceptional leader with an extensive track record and we are delighted to welcome him to BFP. His experience will be invaluable to the successful implementation of our investment plan that sees the introduction of new people, processes and technology.”
Bill Thurston, chief executive of BFP, says, “It is an exciting time to be joining BFP under the ownership of ZIMT. We have significant plans for the growth of the business and to further build on the relationships with both new and existing customers.”
