Six runners and riders to replace Jonathan Ovens as an Arla Board Member

Posted on: 02/02/18

Ovens’ boots are big ones to fill and personal preferences and allegiances need to be put to one side by those Arla reps who vote to ensure the elected candidate understands the business in detail, is professional, savvy and can get results for UK farmers.  He or she will have to hit the ground running, especially on issues like Brexit.

Six candidates have thrown their names into the hat for next Thursday’s elections to take the BOR position previously held by Ovens, at which up to 106 Arla Chairman and Vice Chairman will vote. The candidates are

Arthur Fearnall
James Thompson
Gaynor Wellwood
David Hyslop
Angela Rhodes
Tim Dale
