Boortmalt, having separated itself from buying barley directly off farmers, continues to change its structure.
Tom Bryan, the regional agronomy manager, has been with the company through the Minch and Greencore eras. Tom is set to hang up his boots at the maltings in December.
Meanwhile, agricultural business manager Jeff O’Connor has departed the business after less than a year. It must be one of the hottest seats in the agri-food sector, as he held his role for longer than his predecessor John Burgess, who was in the position for about four months.
