Global nutrition group Glanbia has named Martin Keane as its new chairman, replacing Henry Corbally.
Glanbia also said today that Patrick Murphy has been appointed to the position of vice chairman in place of Martin Keane while John Murphy will continue as a Vice Chairman.
Martin Keane said he would continue to build on the work of all those who have had the vision to make Glanbia the global nutrition group it is today and to help steer the business through its next phase of growth and development.
The company also said today that Jer Doheny has been appointed as a non-executive director and Tom Grant and Patsy Ahern have retired as non-executive directors of Glanbia plc.
This reduces the number of Glanbia Co-op nominee directors on the Board of Glanbia plc from ten to eight members for the years 2018 and 2019.
Glanbia said this reflects the revised board governance arrangements approved at its EGM in May 2017.
Patsy Ahern and Tom Grant will continue as directors of Glanbia Co-operative Society and Glanbia Ireland while Ger O’Brien has been appointed as a director of both organisations.
