Paul Monk (pictured), Chairman and Founder of inVentaBrand Consulting, has become a Life Patron of GroceryAid. He joins Sir David Reid, Lord Price CVO and Mike Coupe in this select group.
Monk has a tremendous breadth of experience at Board Level as Chairman and Non-Executive Director in a variety of grocery companies. His senior management career spans Mars, M&S, Golden Wonder, Finsbury Foods, Quorn and Burtons Biscuits.
Over the last two decades, he has organised numerous events to raise funds for GroceryAid including the Leadership Weekend, President’s Waterside Dinner and Leadership Symposium. An active member on the President’s Fundraising Committee since 2000, Monk was previously inducted into the GroceryAid Hall of Fame to mark 10 years of supporting the industry charity.
Paul Monk said: “Having supported GroceryAid for many years I’m very aware of the vital work done to help colleagues, who fall on hard times. I’m honoured and humbled to take up the role and look forward to contributing further to this great cause.”
Andy Higginson, President of GroceryAid, commented: “Paul, throughout the last 18 years, has given a tremendous amount of personal support to GroceryAid. Without his passion and commitment, GroceryAid would not be in the position it is in today and we are delighted Paul has agreed to become a Life Patron.”
