Fresca Group Chairman Chris Mack has been recognised as one of the fresh produce sector’s most influential leaders in a recent Fresh Produce Journal (FPJ) podcast exploring the industry’s most impactful personalities.

In the special feature, FPJ Editor Fred Searle and colleagues discuss the individuals who have made a significant contribution to the produce industry. Chris was ranked among Fred’s personal top three, with praise for his longstanding commitment to the sector, his role in strengthening UK food security, and his reputation as a respected, approachable and influential leader.

Describing Chris as a “stalwart of the industry” with an “unrivalled” track record, the panel also highlighted his contribution to UK food security and noted that he is “without doubt, a household name in the industry in his own right.”

This recognition reflects not only Chris’s leadership and dedication to the fresh produce sector, but also the positive impact he continues to have across the industry. Congratulations, Chris, on this fantastic acknowledgement of your contribution and influence.
