Autton took up her new role at the BSB’s AGM, which was held in Warwickshire earlier this week. She replaces Bakels’ Keith Houliston who has spent two-and-a-half years in the position.
Mike Bagshaw, founder and director of ITS, the bakery taste and texture specialist, has been named as the vice-chair.
Autton thanked Houliston for his support during her tenure as vice-chair and said she wanted to continue the work he had started to create closer links between the BSB and students. She added she wanted the BSB to become a “conduit” for students finding jobs in bakery.
The organisation also appointed member Sarah Priestly as its new student liaison officer.
