Marnie Millard, chair of UA92 and a board director of Applied Nutrition will be our special guest at our lunch event on Wednesday 19th February.

With a career spanning over 25 years in the soft drinks industry, including her leadership at Nichols PLC, the home of Vimto, where she served as Group Chief Executive until December 2020, she currently holds an impressive non-executive director portfolio that includes Chair of the Boards at UA92, Pura, and Marks Electrical PLC, and Remuneration Committee Chair for Applied Nutrition Ltd. She is also a non-executive director for Belvoir Fruit Farms. Her previous roles include Chair of the Board at Kidly Ltd and NED at Finsbury Food Group PLC.

Passionate about inclusivity and talent development, she is a Fellow of the Society of Leadership Fellows at St. George’s House and a Board Mentor at Critical Eye. She also served as Chair for the CBI in the Northwest for three years and was an Advisor to the Board of International Trade, which led to her being awarded an OBE in 2018 for her services to international trade and business in the region.

Her experience also positioned her on the board of Applied Nutrition, one of the region’s most exciting businesses, which has been the biggest stock market float of 2024.

Beyond her impressive corporate roles, she is dedicated to philanthropic efforts, currently supporting Farm Africa’s Grow for Good campaign in Kenya, which focuses on empowering women through sustainable agricultural initiatives.
