Jerry's ice cream and is still involved today as vice-chairman of the Ben &

strong attraction to Fuller's. I couldn't be more excited - it's a great 
company that is undergoing an enormous change and I'm looking forward to 
playing my part in the next chapter in the Fuller's story." 
 
Chairman Michael Turner said: "Helen brings with her a wealth of knowledge in 
the retail and hospitality sectors combined with real entrepreneurial flair - 
that combination makes her an exciting addition to our Board. She is also an
