Experienced Denis Cregan is Ornua’s first ever non-executive director

Former Kerry Group executive Denis Cregan has been named as the first independent non–executive director of Ornua, the Home of Irish Dairy.

The company, which has rebranded from the Irish Dairy Board, hopes to hit €3bn in sales in the post-milk quota era on the back of strong demand for powdered products in Asia and Africa.

Mr Cregan will bring significant industry experience to Ornua’s export ambitions. He is the current chairman of One51 plc. He is also chairman of Kerry Airport, a director of Tourism Ireland, and a former director of Kerry Group plc.
