The company stated that the new "strategic" position within the Pilgrim's family will "enable greater collaboration" among the organisation's businesses in Europe, with Siqueira taking overall responsibility for Pilgrim's UK, Moy Park, Pilgrim's Food Masters and Pilgrim's Shared Services Ltd.

"I will continue to focus on ensuring Pilgrim's UK delivers excellence for our customers during this crucial period. I'm also looking forward to working with the wider Pilgrim's family to build on our respective strengths and foundations and provide best-in-class service."
This comes as Pilgrim's recently reported good progression in its business recovery and growth plan for the year to 25th December 2022.
