Lakeland hailed for contribution to regional economy and food sector

Lakeland Dairies chief executive Michael Hanley cited the excellent quality of milk in border-adjacent counties, when picking up the two main honours at the inaugural Cavan Business and Tourism awards.

Lakeland won the award for most innovative business (food sector) and was also named as overall winner at the ceremony, at which Taoiseach Enda Kenny was special guest.

The judging panel said it was recognising Lakeland’s “major contribution” to the northern economy and the national food industry.
