Confectionery giant Mars has appointed a new sustainability and science communications director who up until now has been serving as a special advisor to the UK’s Foreign Secretary David Miliband, according to media reports.

The Daily Telegraph claims Sarah Schaefer will take on the new role in January after four years as a special adviser to Miliband.

And the Foreign Secretary is said to be already actively recruiting to replace Schaefer, who is seen as his closest aide and most trusted media handler.

She is to be based at Slough, where the US confectioner has its British headquarters.
