The new boss at one of the nation s leading fruit growers has vowed to continue the tradition of innovation at the 70-year-old Norfolk firm.
Place UK, based at Tunstead near North Walsham, has appointed Pieter van Egmond as its new managing director.
It follows the decision of his predecessor Tim Place to step back to concentrate on his role as chairman of parent company R & JM Place.
Mr van Egmond, who joined the firm in 2018 as farm director, comes from a horticultural background and grew up working for a Lincolnshire-based family business set up by his Dutch great-grandfather.
