Müller Dairy has appointed former Procter & Gamble vice president Bergen Merey as managing director.

Merey will join the Shropshire-based business on 4 May, when acting MD Andrew McInnes will revert to his former role as chief financial officer for Müller Dairy owner Müller UK & Ireland Group.

Turkish-born Merey, who lives in Buckinghamshire, spent 25 years with P&G, most recently a member of P&G’s Global Business Leadership Council and vice president of the company, leading its sales operations in the Benelux countries.

Müller said the 49-year-old brought with him a “wide array of executive leadership, brand building, marketing and talent development experience”

“We have ambitious plans for our business in the UK and Ireland and want to build on the strong progress we have made to date,” said Müller Group CEO Ronald Kers. “We are very pleased to welcome Bergen to the business. His experience, leadership, drive and energy will be crucial at what is an exciting phase in the development of Müller in the UK.”
