A new consultant on the block

The Dealer thought he knew all the agricultural consultants in the business until a new name caught his attention.

A footnote in the IFA’s Brexit report caught my eye last night.

“The IFA acknowledges the contribution of Cúl Dara Consultancy in preparing this publication.”

Consultants in the agri industry are well-known to the Dealer but on this occasion I was stumped by the name.

Turns out Cúl Dara Consultancy is the new name for a familiar face – Catherine Lascurettes, the IFA’s former dairy executive. Catherine set up her new business in September 2020, having been one of seven staff who took up a €1.134m retirement scheme from the IFA.
