We are delighted to announce the appointment of John Want as the new CEO of HCL, effective from the 1st of October 2024.
John joins us with a wealth of experience in the food sector including a strong background in sales, marketing, and business leadership. John is passionate about quality food and is committed to advancing HCL’s Vision:
We believe that every child should have access to healthy, nourishing meals that give them the foundations to grow, learn and achieve their potential.
John’s appointment comes at an exciting time for HCL. Under his leadership, we will continue to innovate and grow, while further strengthening relationships with our valued customers.
On his new appointment John said:
"I’m delighted to be joining such a wonderful organisation in HCL as your new CEO. It will be a privilege to build on the incredible work Ian has done over the past few years at a time of real pressure in our market and supply chain. I look forward to influencing and guiding a successful, sustainable future in partnership with everyone across the business."
As we welcome our new CEO John to HCL, we also extend our heartfelt thanks to Ian Hamilton, who is retiring after nearly 10 years with HCL.
