Food charity FareShare South West has appointed a new chief executive. Gene Joyner has joined the organisation from Better Food, where he was managing director for more than four years, overseeing a 130-strong workforce.
He has taken over from Julian Mines who stepped down in June after five years at the helm. Lucy Bearn, director of operations, had been acting as interim chief executive before his appointment.
Andy Street, chair of trustees at FareShare South West, said he was "confident" the charity would "grow and thrive" under Mr Joyner's leadership.
