Amirahmadi joins Dairy Council as chairman

Ash Amirahmadi, senior vice president of sales at Arla UK, has been elected chairman of The Dairy Council.

He succeeds Sandy Wilkie of Müller Milk and Ingredients whose dedication to The Dairy Council over the seven years he led the organisation was recognised by the whole industry.

“It is a privilege to take on the role of chairman of this organisation which has a proud record in communicating the many benefits of dairy,” comments Amirahmadi.

“Milk and dairy play such an important role in the British diet – not only are they some of the most nutritious foods on the supermarket shelves, but they also continue to be one of the most popular.

“Dairy plays a crucial part in nutrition at all stages of life, however we are confronted all too often with negative and ill-informed criticism of dairy. It is therefore crucial that we at The Dairy Council continue to use our voice to demonstrate the outstanding nutritional contribution of dairy in leading a healthy lifestyle.”
