Stephen Blewitt, the head of dairy at Aurivo is to leave the co-op.
Blewitt joined the co-op in 2006 and was promoted to head of agribusiness in 2016 and then head of dairy at Aurivo in 2018.
Commenting on Blewitt’s decision to leave, outgoing CEO Donal Tierney said: “Stephen has made a significant contribution to Aurivo over more than two decades, including through his leadership of the dairy business and as a valued member of our executive team.
“We thank him sincerely for his longstanding commitment, leadership and service to Aurivo and wish him every success for the future.”
Blewitt will remain at the co-op until the end of November before he is expected to take up a new in the public sector.
Change
His decision to leave the co-op comes at a time of major change, with outgoing CEO Donal Tierney retiring at the end of November.
It comes on the back of an aborted merger with Dale Farm co-op.
JP McGrath was announced as his replacement last week. McGrath had a short stint as chief finance officer at Dairygold which he left at the end of November 2025.
