Travel catering company SSP Group has announced the appointment of Kari Daniels as CEO for the UK and Ireland.
Daniels spent 20 years at Tesco including four years as the CEO of Tesco Ireland. She was also UK Commercial Director at Tesco and currently serves as a Non-Executive Director at Topps Tiles.

Her extensive knowledge and experience of both retail and food industries make her an ideal successor to Richard in the role, and I’m confident she will accelerate growth in our UK business by putting a clear focus on developing our customer offer and innovating our brands and concepts to cater for the changed world we now operate in.
“Kari joins at an exciting time for the Group as we continue to make strong progress in our recovery and deliver our growth strategy to further strengthen our market-leading positions in food travel markets globally.”
