Loseley Dairy Ice Cream has poached Neil Burchell from yoghurt maker Rachel's as its new MD in a bid to breathe new life into the group's range of brands.
Ricker said more convenience store chains are getting in the food business, which keeps prices on most items competitive. He said he hasn't been in a Turkey Hill store and was surprised the company is taking such a big geographic jump away from Pennsylvania, where it has 240 stores. Turkey Hill also has 11 stores in Ohio, all opened since 2009.Parent: The Kroger Co., based in CincinnatiFounded: 1967The man who has led the Indianapolis-based Central Division for Kroger since 2006, Robert Moeder, previously led Kroger's convenience-store division and Turkey Hill Dairy.David Eades becomes Loseley's executive chairman after running the company for the past 12 months while at the same time searching for a suitable MD.
