The head of Glanbia said it is "laser-focused" on getting back to growth after the huge disruptions of a Covid-hit 2020, but that it faces "no rumblings" of shareholder activist disconnect that has affected other large food companies. 

Group managing director Siobhán Talbot said it has continued to focus on potential deal-making as it seeks to give its full attention to a strategy of growing its divisions, including Glanbia Performance Nutrition (GPN), which includes SlimFast and Optimum Nutrition (ON).
