Ex-Wm Morrison executive Trevor Strain, who concluded his 13-year tenure at Morrisons in September 2022, has taken on a new role as portfolio director at the Boparan Private Office. Strain, who held the position of Chief Operating Officer since October 2019, is now part of a senior executive team that includes former J Sainsbury (LON:SBRY) boss Justin King and ex-Tesco executive Laurie McIlwee.
In his new full-time role, Strain will oversee a diverse portfolio of assets including Bernard Matthews, Carluccio's, Giraffe, Elkes Biscuits, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Slim Chicken, Ed's Easy Diner, Fishworks and the Cinnamon Collection. His primary focus will be identifying growth opportunities across these businesses rather than managing daily operations.
Strain's role remains separate from Ranjit Singh Boparan's poultry business, 2 Sisters Food Group. This move marks another instance of supermarket executives associating with Boparan's business empire.
