New appointments will take up their roles from 1 September
Borough Market has announced the appointments of Alistair Maddox as chief executive and Nicole Casey as director of operations from 1 September.
Maddox’s appointment has been backed by the market’s board of trustees, its community of traders, and staff across all disciplines, Borough said.
He has over 20 years of experience across the food, property and market sectors, and is regarded as having a people-first approach and ability to drive thoughtful innovation.
Maddox said: “Borough Market is more than just a collection of great food stalls, it’s a vibrant community supporting over 100 independent traders.
“Having spent years running some of London’s top destinations like Broadway Market and Brixton Village, I’m honoured to lead a trusted institution that creates a platform for small businesses to thrive and champions sustainability and education.
“I’m excited to build on this legacy with the talented businesses and staff who make this place so special.”
Casey, meanwhile, brings a strong background in operational leadership, venue management and public realm strategy, and will lead the day-to-day running of the market, working closely with traders, partners and the local community.
She said: “I’m looking forward to working with our talented team and getting to know the diverse community that comes to shop, get expert tips and share a love of food at London’s oldest market. It’s such a unique place, and I’m excited to continue to honour its rich heritage while also being focused on the future development of Borough Market.”
Shane Holland, Borough Market’s chair of trustees, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Alistair and Nicole to Borough Market. This is a strong, values-led team, perfectly placed to guide the market through our next strategic phase – to develop our position as a cultural and culinary landmark rooted in our charitable purpose.”
