Cavan-based Lakeland Dairies has announced Dr. Seán Brady as the society’s nomination to the board of Ornua.
Dr. Brady started his career in Killeshandra Co-op before the formation of Lakeland Dairies, where he was general manager of the dairy division.
He is currently a director of Animal Health Ireland and the Irish National Stud, and has previously served as managing director of both Greencore Malt and Irish Sugar, as well as being acting head of operations with LacPatrick Dairies.
Lakeland Dairies Chairman Alo Duffy said Dr Brady has proven himself to be one of the most innovative and pioneering leaders in Irish dairying and the wider agriculture sector.
He added that he is “convinced Dr. Brady will represent the dairy sector with distinction on the new Board of Ornua.”
