Fengrain announces new structure for 2008 harvest

Fengrain has announced a new management structure designed to take maximum advantage of the changing combinable crops market place and exploit the company's unique competitive position.

The new management team will be headed by Executive Chairman Paul Wilkinson. Other key appointments include: John Whitelam - Marketing Director; Kevin Cooper - Finance Director; and Paul Randle - Business Development Director. The new structure takes effect on 1 August.

"These are exciting times for Fengrain and with a record harvest predicted it was important to have a structure that matched the changing demands of the combinable crops market place," said Chairman Paul Wilkinson. "Our aim is to be the first choice for growers and grain consumers alike.

"We will be focused on providing the best products and service through personal contact and in-depth market knowledge. We will provide the high quality service that delivers real benefits, to growers and customers alike, to a standard that can only be delivered by a strong independent regional company."

As a result of these changes, Mark Isaacson who has been Chief Executive of Fengrain for the past three years will leave the company.

"Mark has led the company through some significant changes and we are grateful for his contribution," said Mr Wilkinson.
