Coutts appointed chair-elect of Mainland Group
Fonterra has named Elizabeth (Liz) Coutts the chair of Mainland Group, the proposed divestment entity of the co-operative’s consumer business.
The decision to formally elect Brown provides the Council with continuity heading into a post-Trading Among Farmers environment. Brown took over the chairmanship eight weeks aho after Simon Couper resigned over TAF.
Brown then helped guide the council and shareholders through the TAF final vote.
Brown looks forward to leading the council. Philip Palmer, Wairarapa ward, was elected as deputy chair
