Dairygold faces tough decisions

A BIG job of work has to be done to ensure that Dairygold Co-op will prosper in the face of the challenges facing the dairy sector.

That’s the view of the food processing group’s new chairman John Walsh, a dairy farmer from Boher, Co Limerick, who said painful decisions will impact all areas of the business.

“As a collective of farmer shareholders, who own a strong and valuable business, we will work together to build a stronger and profitable business,” said Mr Walsh. “To achieve this we must leave aside the localised rivalries of the past and work to build a strong and more profitable business in Dairygold to best serve our future needs.”
