I see that Anne Randles has stepped down as secretary of Ornua and has been appointed to a newly created role of director of corporate affairs. John McRedmond has been appointed company secretary along with his current role of general counsel.

I also noted that Ornua is recruiting for another newly created position, that of chief growth officer with a job description that puts mergers, acquisitions and new business development under the role.

It is interesting to see the new positions being put in place at the same time as Ornua’s board is examining plans to restructure the co-op into an unlisted plc.
