“I am particularly proud, along with board colleagues, to have put in place a strong co-op structure, without which it would have been impossible to defend and protect our farmers and shareholders.
Over the past number of years our relationship with Kerry Group plc has evolved and will continue to evolve. We have always been part of that team and will endeavour to play our part as we move forward together.
