Glanbia names new board chairman for the next two years

Glanbia said it appointed Donard Gaynor as its new chairman for the next two years to succeed Martin Keane who is retiring from the Irish food multinational next year.

Mr Gaynor will hold the new post "until no later than the 2022 agm", the company said, because he will have by then served on the board for the maximum nine years under governance codes, and a new chairperson will be appointed before the 2022 shareholders' meeting.
