Scottish meat body appoints chief executive
Meat industry body Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) has appointed Alan Clarke as its new chief executive. He is to replace Uel Morton, who will step down in July after spending 11 years in the role.
Clarke is to join QMS from Scottish Bakers, where he has served as chief executive for the past six years. He was also director of Lifelong Learning UK for five years and 10 years as chief executive of a sector training council in Northern Ireland.
Jim McLaren, chairman of QMS, said the appointment followed a robust recruitment process.
“We look forward to welcoming Alan on board this summer. He brings with him a wealth of experience, in both the private and public sectors, and a strong skillset including governance, finance, project management, people management and IT skills,” said McLaren.
