Aine Hallihan has taken the reins as chair of Moorepark Technology Limited, succeeding George Macleod and she has wasted no time getting stuck in.

The Carbery research and development director brings 25 years’ experience in dairy, food and ingredients, so she knows her whey around a challenge. With a new five-year strategy nearly ready, Hallihan says she is eager to get cracking.

Teagasc chair Liam Herlihy welcomed the appointment and thanked Macleod for his years of steady service.
