East Yorkshire-based foodservice wholesaler Turner Price has appointed Steve Potter as its new managing director, following the retirement of Paul Brittain.
Potter will succeed Brittain after more than a decade with the business, having first joined Turner Price in 2014 as operations manager. He was promoted to operations director and joined the company board in 2024.
“It is an honour to take on the role of managing director and to follow such a respected and successful leader,” said Potter. “My focus will be on ensuring Turner Price remains a trusted food partner for our customers across the UK and around the world, while continuing to invest in our people, infrastructure and capabilities to support our ambitious growth plans.”
A member of the Caterfood Buying Group, Turner Price operates from depots in East Yorkshire and County Durham, supplying more than 2,500 customers across the education, healthcare, hospitality and leisure sectors.
Potter added: “We have an incredibly talented and committed team, and I look forward to working alongside our board of directors, senior management team and the Caterfood Buying Group as we continue to build on the company’s success.”
Brittain has been a member of the Turner Price leadership team for 24 years. He served as finance director for more than two decades, before being appointed managing director in 2024 following the company’s move into the Caterfood Buying Group.
“Although it was a difficult decision, retirement will give me more time to spend with my family and enjoy some well-earned free time,” said Brittain. ”Turner Price has been a huge part of my life for almost 24 years, and I will greatly miss our fantastic people and loyal customers.
“I have every confidence that Steve, together with the board and wider leadership team, will continue to drive Turner Price forward. The business has exciting plans for future investment, expansion and growth, and I look forward to watching and supporting its continued success.”
