Asda CEO Andy Clarke becomes president of IGD

Asda chief executive Andy Clarke is to become president of IGD, the food and grocery research and training charity.

Due to take up his role in January, Clarke has served as vice-president of IGD for the last two years and will succeed Fiona Dawson, currently of Mars Chocolate UK and Global Retail. The president is the public face of IGD and Clarke will serve in the role for two years.

Joanne Denney-Finch, IGD chief executive, said: “Andy now takes the reins as president in what is set to be a very exciting year for IGD and our industry, as we focus on our core pillars of people development and working towards a secure and sustainable future, ultimately delivering the needs of the public. I’m hugely looking forward to working with him.

“I would also like to extend many thanks to our outgoing president Fiona Dawson, for what she has helped us achieve over the last two years.”

Clarke added: “In my 30 years in this industry I’ve never known a period as challenging and exciting as we’re currently in. The pace of change is phenomenal and the UK is leading the way in many areas. The IGD makes a real difference to our sector and to the UK economy – be it through our output, job creation or skills – and I’m hugely proud to have the opportunity to lead it.”
