Fairtrade Foundation names Euan Venters as commercial director

The Fairtrade Foundation has appointed Euan Venters as its new commercial director.

Venters was previously managing director of Greene King Brewing & Brands, and prior to that worked with Sara Lee Corporation where his most recent role was global brand president with responsibility for the global body care business.

At the Fairtrade Foundation, he will lead the team that manages the organisation’s relationships with more than 400 UK businesses including consumer brands, supermarkets, out-of-home outlets, and intermediaries in the supply chain.

In 2013, UK retail sales of Fairtrade products increased from £1.53 billion to £1.73 billion.

Michael Gidney, chief executive at the Fairtrade Foundation, said: “Euan has an impressive track record of growing sales and market share for consumer brands, so it’s great to have him on board as we seek to deliver the ambitious sales growth that will enable more farmers and workers to access markets on Fairtrade terms and trade their way out of poverty.”

Venters has succeeded Ashish Deo who has left the organisation to become chief executive of the Responsible Jewellery Council.
