Baker & Baker appointed Matthew Acheson as its CEO, succeeding John Lindsay in the role as of January 1. In his previous role, Acheson was the CFO of Baker & Baker and the prior CSM Bakery Solutions business since 2017.

Acheson said on his appointment: “I am extremely pleased to be entrusted with leading Baker & Baker, as we look to expand our presence and distribution in markets throughout Europe and further afield. 2024 has been another robust year for the Group, and we are excited about the opportunities to grow our business in collaboration with our key customers and partners.”

Since the creation of the standalone bakery products business Baker & Baker in 2021, John and Matthew have worked tirelessly and effectively to drive growth, enter new markets and navigate a series of geopolitical and industry challenges. Supported by a strong leadership team, we are excited about the next chapter for Baker & Baker.
