Lizzie Leeson, Director of Brand Finance
I joined Premier Foods in 2016 on the finance graduate scheme so experienced various roles within finance including Commercial, Procurement and Group Finance. I eventually settled in the Brand Finance team and have been here ever since.
Premier Foods has been great in giving me new opportunities and roles to grow into as I develop throughout my career. I feel that what I do in my role matters for decision making and I especially like seeing a product on the shelves after I've been working on it.
Reema Shah, Community & Corporate Engagement Manager
I joined Premier Foods in November 2023 and am responsible for delivering the community programme, which is an integral part of our Enriching Life Plan and includes both our volunteering programme and working with our charity partner FareShare. I also bring external ESG insights into the business, developing colleague capabilities and understanding of ESG.
I'm fortunate that my role allows me to work with colleagues across the business, from our factories to our customer teams to those working in procurement. There is always a lot to learn, and I enjoy the variety of work that I'm involved in.
Dan Jalalpour, Marketing Director for Desserts & Breakfast
I joined Premier Foods as a Brand Director in 2018 and I’m responsible for the brand plans and business performance of the categories I look after. I have a team spanning Innovation and Brand Management, and we work closely with a number of commercial and technical stakeholders across the business.
The teams I work with are all very talented, ambitious, and eager to raise the bar. I'm continually learning new skills and gaining new knowledge. I really enjoy what each day brings and we have adapted really well as a business to flexible working arrangements.
Farrah Mosaheb, Category Controller Strategy
I joined Premier Foods in 2013 as a Category Manager and since then, I have been given the opportunity and support to progress through several category management roles.
I thoroughly enjoy my job and leading my team, which involves providing strategic direction by collaborating with various functions across marketing, commercial sales, and insights to ensure we align with consumer, shopper, and market trends. My key responsibility is to ensure we lead the category and shopper agenda with our customers to deliver sustainable partnerships and long-term growth.
Rachel Matheson, Factory General Manager
I started working at Premier Foods as an operator in 2006 and I am now the Factory General Manager at our Lifton site after several promotions. I believe Premier Foods’ desire to recognise and develop talent from within the business played a big part in this.
I am responsible for leading a dedicated and passionate team of people, producing Ambrosia, Bird’s and Angel Delight. I ensure we are compliant in safety, quality, environment and ethical issues and work with teams on improvements and training plans.
Sarah Houghton, Head of Procurement (Packaging)
I joined Premier Foods in 2002 as a procurement graduate and was enrolled on to the Young Managers development programme which, like our graduate scheme, combines learning with on-the-job experience. As a Head of Procurement, I lead a great high performing team, right from new graduates to experienced Heads of Category.
Sustainability has rightly taken an increasingly prominent role over the last few years, and I support our Enriching Life Plan, which includes a set of ambitious targets centred around our people, planet and products.
