Armer resignation ‘disappointing’

Written by 

Fonterra chairman, Henry van der Heyden says while the co-op is disappointed with Colin Armer's resignation, it respects his decision.

Van der Heyden says Armer has been on the board for six years and during that time has made a significant contribution to the progress of Fonterra.

"While we are disappointed that Colin has chosen to resign we respect his decision."

A replacement for Armer will be chosen at Fonterra's annual meeting later this year.

Armer was one of the three directors up for re-election this year. Others are chairman-elect John Wilson and Nicola Shadbolt.

Armer was one of the leading contenders for the Fonterra chairmanship. However, the board last week picked Wilson.
