She said: “I am delighted to be joining Dairy UK at such an important time for the dairy industry, both in the UK and internationally.
“I am passionate about dairy and it is vitally important for the industry to communicate widely and effectively about the substantial nutritional value of dairy products as well as the major contribution the industry makes in social, economic and environmental terms.
“Consumers love our products and the demand for dairy is growing all the time. It’s a great industry and in the UK we have so much to be proud of.”
Dr Judith Bryans, Chief Executive of Dairy UK, said: “Caroline is a tremendously able and enthusiastic advocate for dairy and her experience across the world will be a great asset to the UK dairy industry.
