Müller confirms agriculture director change

Müller Milk & Ingredients agriculture director Lyndsay Chapman stepped down from her position on 27 January.

She leaves the business by mutual agreement having significantly contributed during the integration of the Müller Wiseman Dairies and Dairy Crest Dairies business to create Müller Milk & Ingredients.

Andrew McInnes, managing director of Müller Milk & Ingredients, says, “Chapman has led the Agriculture team during a period which has seen major progress in integrating two complex businesses including bringing two farming groups together, and unprecedented marketplace volatility. She places a very high priority on adding real value in the work that she does and sees that the nature and required locations of the role make this difficult to fully achieve. I would like to thank Chapman for her significant contribution and I wish her well for the future.”

Rob Hutchison, currently integration programme manager at Müller Milk & Ingredients, has been appointed agriculture director on an interim basis with immediate effect. He has wide experience and knowledge of the whole supply chain having worked successfully in a number of key roles within the Müller business and on a range of major integration projects throughout his career.
