Premier Foods has appointed Pam Powell as a non-executive director with immediate effect. Pam Powell has more than 20 years marketing experience developing some of the world’s leading consumer brands. Most recently, she was the Group Strategy and Innovation Director for SABMiller, one of the world’s leading brewers.

Additionally, Pam held numerous marketing roles in the home and personal care sector during a 13 year career at Unilever, culminating in her role as global Vice President of the Skin Care category.
