Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reshuffled the cabinet on November 13, 2023, appointing VICTORIA Atkins as the new health minister for the United Kingdom.
She is wed to Paul Kenward, a food product specialist in business. What we know about him is as follows.
Who is Victoria Atkins’ husband Paul Kenward?
British businessman Paul Kenward is the current CEO of ABF Sugar, one of the biggest sugar firms in the world.
He had been British Sugar’s managing director.
In addition, Kenward serves as a director at several other businesses, such as Pride Oils and Westmill Foods.
Born in 1973, he received his education at Oxford’s Lady Margaret Hall.
In 1996, he served as the Oxford Union’s president.
When it was discovered in 2018 that Kenward owned a legal cannabis farm, the news was widely reported.
The Wissington, Norfolk farm cultivates a non-psychoactive strain of cannabis meant for use in pediatric epilepsy medication.
Since Atkins has long opposed cannabis use, he has been accused of being hypocritical in this regard.
She was thereafter prohibited from discussing cannabis-related topics in Parliament.
