Phil Roux, CEO of Pioneer Foods, commented: “Significant change is under way at Pioneer Foods to position the organisation more competitively. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the organisation has shown resilience by producing a fair set of results in a constrained and highly competitive market environment. Certain categories excelled while others encountered stronger headwinds. That said, clarity of strategic direction enabled by a more efficient business model should bode well for medium term prospects for the organisation.”
