Talks begin on Dairygold’s future

DAIRYGOLD has begun talks with farmer shareholders to determine the future shape of the group.

Under discussion is the possible splitting of the consumer division, the 4Homes DIY stores and property development into an unlisted plc, to drive this business forward and generate future dividend income.

Taking that end of the business to the stock market has been ruled out for now, although chief executive Jerry Henchy had indicated early on that the option of a future listing was open for consideration.
