Committee of ForFarmers, responsible for ForFarmers UK. At the time of the
acquisition the agreement was made that Iain Gardner would step down when the
appropriate time would arrive.
'Iain Gardner has been instrumental in leading the organisation to become the
leading feed company in the United Kingdom. In the past 4 years, he has
implemented the Horizon 2020 strategy, integrated several acquisitions and laid
the foundations of many transformational projects to prepare the organisation
for future challenges. We thank him for his commitment and contribution', states
Yoram Knoop, CEO of ForFarmers.
Steven Read has been with ForFarmers for 31 years. As Supply Chain Director,
Steven Read is currently responsible for Purchasing and Formulation and for
Manufacturing & Logistics and based in Lochem (the Netherlands). Yoram Knoop
comments: 'Steven is the natural and logical person to be appointed COO of
ForFarmers UK, given his broad experience and successful implementation of
changes in the ForFarmers organisation and that fact that he has previously been
part of the UK senior management team for many years.'
An external search for the successor to Steven Read has been initiated.
