South Caernarfon appoints new board members
Wales, UK-based dairy co-operative South Caernarfon Creameries has recently appointed two member farmers to its board of directors.
The co-operative’s board includes five milk producer elected directors who are nominated by the 130 producer member farmers. Each farmer director is elected from one of the four milk collection regions in north Wales and mid Wales. Member producers Osian Williams and Malcolm Davies were appointed to the board of directors at the co-operative’s recent annual general meeting (AGM).
Alan Wyn-Jones, managing director at South Caernarfon Creameries says, “It is vital that our member farmers have a voice in the running of the creamery and our directors are a conduit for key decision-making.
“We are therefore pleased to welcome Malcolm and Osian to the board of directors. They will be a great asset to the board and have a very commercial outlook to business which is what’s required in our very competitive industry.”
At the AGM, South Caernarfon Creameries announced record profits for the period to March 2017; an operative profit of nearly £3 million (€3.2m, or 9%) on sales of £33.1 million (€36.3m) was achieved compared to a profit of £389k (1.2%) on sales of £31.7 million in 2016.
