Madeleine Vose has switched from being a Budgens supplier to a role as the company's floral and horticultural buyer.

Vose moves to Budgens from horticultural supplier Southern Glasshouse Produce (SGP), where her key retailer accounts included Budgens and Waitrose.

Budgens fresh produce controller, Steve Carter, said: 'Madeleine's experience and talent for training is a real advantage. Flowers and plants are a key element of the fresh produce offer and it's crucial that store staff know how to maintain and merchandise them.' At SGP, Vose was involved in the education of Budgens' trainee managers in the care and management of the horticulture category and she will have every opportunity to develop that training element as part of the Budgens buying job.
