Prior to that he was a career civil servant dealing with a range of food, agricultural, trade and environmental issues in the UK and at EU and international levels, including postings to the UK Permanent Representation in Brussels (UKREP) and the British Embassy in Paris.

Rob Nugent, PTF chairman, commented: “I am delighted to inform you that Andrew Kuyk CBE has accepted the position of director general.

Although Andrew will officially join the PTF on 6th April, he will be working with his predecessor Terry Jones throughout March to complete an effective handover.
