Fonterra’s Pierre Venter named next vice chancellor of Massey University
The head of Fonterra's R&D facility in Palmerston North is set to literally cross the road and become the new vice chancellor at Massey University.
However, it seems that Fonterra is still refusing to hold 'in person' media attendances at its corporate announcements - the latest example was the co-op's recent annual results unveiling.
Despite taking place a good two weeks after the Government dropped all the Covid protocols, the dairy giant's media managers still won't allow journalists to front up at Gumboot castle and quesiton the chairman and executive team in person.
Access was only granted by phone or weblink - which is never as useful or enlightening as face-to-face.
It begs the question - if it no longer has the excuse of using Covid health requirements in fronting the media in person -what is Fonterra, its chair and leadership trying to hide?
