A director at Bodnant Welsh Food has resigned after just five months in the job.
Operations director Conrad Jones quit the food company on Monday having joined in February,.
It is not known what has caused Mr Jones’ resignation.
The Daily Post has approached Bodnant Welsh Food approached for a comment.
The catering chief was previously in charge of Edinburgh University Students Association’s multi-million pound operation, including for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
When appointed he said his priority at Bodnant would be getting to know every single aspect of the business.
Back in February he said: “My aim is to continue the growth the centre has enjoyed whilst strengthening the links with our existing artisan suppliers and developing links with new ones.”
Mr Jones succeeded managing director Chris Morton.
The £6 million centre in Conwy Valley has been hit by two scandals this year.
In February the company was forced to apologise after selling a gammon joint from Belgium with some shoppers claiming the packaging saying it was “Welsh cured” was misleading.
Last month an employment tribunal in Prestatyn heard Mr Morton made offensive comments of a transgender, homophobic and feminist nature to staff.
He insists he has nothing against gay or transgender people and the tribunal has been adjourned until October.
The food centre, which includes a farm shop, cafe, restaurant and the Welsh Bee Centre, was opened in 2012 by the Prince of Wales and attracts around 250,000 visitors a year.
