The UK’s Food Standards Agency has appointed Charles Milne as director of its Scotland division.
Milne, currently chief veterinary officer in Scotland, succeeds George Paterson who is due to retire in June.
Tim Smith, chief executive of the FSA, said: “Charles has very strong experience of operating within the Scottish government and working with Whitehall, the EU and internationally. His experience as Scotland’s CVO means he will bring with him a real understanding of many of the issues that the agency faces. I am delighted at his appointment and I look forward to working with him.”
Milne was working with the Scottish State Veterinary Service during the BSE crisis and also has experience of working in meat hygiene.
In 1996, Charles took on the role of veterinary adviser to Scottish ministers and also worked at a national level.
