Cauldron Foods has made Emma Rainford new product development manager to promote the expansion of its chilled vegetarian and organic convenience ranges.

Cauldron Foods, which supplies multiples, independents and health stores, recently invested £6m in a new factory and equipment at Portishead to make GM-free vegetarian foods. Rainford will be involved in
devising and testing food which will be produced there.

In addition, Cauldron has recruited Jen Sherratt as national sales account manager. She joins from RHM’s bread bakeries division.
