Darren Spiby, to date Cornelius managing director, has been promoted to the role of CEO. With this organizational change his former role will cease to exist.

Spiby will be continuing to report to the previous holder of the position, Dr. Neville Prior, who remains as chairman of the board.

Spiby has worked with Cornelius for 12 years. He first joined the company as a new business development manager in 2004 and has since lead teams to develop new business in the health and nutrition, care products and industrial sectors in the UK and Europe.

His new role includes the development of a solid framework for future business growth, with a focus on the identification and delivery of synergies between the Cornelius distribution and specialty manufacturing businesses.
