Aurivo has announced that Raymond Barlow has been elected chair of the board of Aurivo Co-op and that Cathal Garvey has been elected vice-chair following a board meeting on Tuesday.
Last week, it was announced that Pat Duffy, now former chair, would not be seeking re-election as chair.
Raymond Barlow has been a member of the Aurivo board since 2014 and took up the role of vice-chair in July 2016.
He was chair of the agri business subcommittee. He is a dairy farmer from Riverstown, Co Sligo.
Cathal Garvey has been a member of the Aurivo board since 2013 and was chair of the audit subcommittee at the co-op. He is dairy farmer from south Mayo.
Dairy farmer Seán O’Donnell has also been elected to the board in place of Seán Sweeney.
Outgoing chair
Outgoing chair Pat Duffy congratulated Barlow and Garvey on their appointments.
Duffy has served as chair of Aurivo since 2016 and has sat on the board since 2002.
Last week, he said he was stepping back from what has been a “demanding but very rewarding role”.
“It has been such a privilege to serve both as director and chair of Aurivo for the past 18 years.
“I have enjoyed tremendously my stewardship of the co-op and am delighted as I depart as chair to see Aurivo and its leadership team in such a strong position,” Duffy said.
