The current chair of Aurivo Pat Duffy has made it known to the board of directors that he does not intend to put his name forward for reelection of the co-operative society.

He was first elected as chair in 2016 and has served on the board since 2002.

“I have decided to take the opportunity to step back from what has been a demanding but very rewarding role," he said.

“It has been such a privilege to serve both as director and chair of Aurivo for the past 18 years. I have enjoyed tremendously my stewardship of the co-op and am delighted as I depart as chair to see Aurivo and its leadership team in such a strong position,” Duffy said.

Support

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow directors for their support over the years and indeed the management team of Aurivo, very capably led by Donal Tierney.”

Chief executive Donal Tierney said that Pat had been a strong and committed chair of the co-op and wished him and his family the best for the future.
