The Real Good Food Company plc (AIM: RGD)

Ex-British Sugar MD becomes Chief Operating Officer

The Real Good Food Company plc ("the Group" or "RGFC"), the diversified food group, owns Napier Brown (Europe's biggest non-refining sugar distributor) as well as Renshaw and R&W Scott (bakery ingredients), Garrett Ingredients (dairy ingredients) and Haydens Bakery (patisserie and desserts).

In a significant strengthening of its senior management team, the Board of RGFC is pleased to announce the appointment of former British Sugar Managing Director, Gino De Jaegher, as the Group's Chief Operating Officer, with immediate effect.

Gino (aged 52) has wide-ranging experience in marketing and sales of branded consumer goods and agriculture-based manufacturing businesses in the UK. After 21 years with Procter and Gamble based in Belgium, Turkey and the UK, working on brands such as Pringles, Pampers and Pantene, his most recent role was Managing Director of British Sugar, for a period of just over five years.

Having left British Sugar in September 2012, Gino joined RGFC in a consultancy role to work alongside Executive Chairman, Pieter Totté, on key strategic projects. In his new role, he will take responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the Group, with the Managing Directors of each of the Group's five operating businesses reporting directly to him.

Pieter Totté, RGFC Executive Chairman, comments:

"I am delighted that Gino has agreed to join us on a long-term basis and also to join our Group Executive team. His appointment to this role will enable me to concentrate on the strategic and, specifically, the commercial development of the Group overall, and I feel confident that we now have a structure in place which will enable us to develop our businesses to achieve our growth targets."

Gino De Jaegher adds:

"I look forward to overseeing day-to-day operations of the Group and to working with the divisional MDs to help deliver their budgets, by enhancing processes and procedures within their businesses and by drawing on my experience to-date. Pieter and the executive team are passionate about harnessing the growth opportunities we see for the Group and I am delighted to be able to work alongside them."
