Patties Foods has appointed its financial controller and acting CFO, Robin Donohue, as CFO.
Donohue, who joined the company in 2008 as financial control, was appointed acting CFO in early 2015 following the resignation of former finance officer, Michael Knaap.
Donohue’s appointment follows the announcement by Patties in December that it will exit the frozen fruit category this year, selling its Creative Gourmet business and withdrawing the Nanna’s brand in supermarkets by early 2016.
Patties Foods now intends to focus on its core business, savoury and sweet pastry products business, which makes up around 90 per cent of the company’s sales and pre tax earnings, as well as the management of brands Four’N Twenty, Patties, and Herbert Adam’s.
