Changes in the top of ForFarmers

20 October 2017 - Wouter Baan

Iain Gardner, COO at ForFarmers in the United Kingdom, will retire from 2018. His job is filled by Steven Read, who is currently responsible for logistics.

Gardner has worn the ForFarmers colors for 29 years. Since 2012, he has joined the board and is responsible for the activities in the United Kingdom. According to CEO Yoram Knoop, Gardner has been of great value all these years in making ForFarmers a leading feed company.  

Read logical successor 
Successor Read, with his 31 years of service, is no stranger. Due to his broad experience, according to Knoop, he is the logical person to succeed Gardner. ForFarmers is looking for Read's successor outside its own ranks.
