Liam Herlihy has been appointed to the board of FBD holdings plc. The former Glanbia chairman will join the board of the troubled insurance broker as a non-executive director with immediate effect. His successful tenure as chair of Ireland’s largest dairy processor makes him a good fit for the role. Glanbia, like FBD, has a farmer co-op as its’ main shareholder- Herlihy chaired both Glanbia co-op and plc.
FBD will hope that markets will respond positively to the appointment. Glanbia’s share price has grown stongly over the last five years in particular.
Liam Herlihy is a dairy farmer from Waterford. He joined the Glanbia board in 1997, becoming chairman in 2008. In his seven years at the helm, Glanbia underwent significant structural change, with the co-op relinquishing its’ majority shareholding in the plc, and embarking on a joint venture to run the i9rish dairy processing business and build Belview.
