Fresh produce giant Total Produce has announced a number of board changes, with the impending retirement of Frank Gernon, executive director, and Jerome Kennedy, non-executive director.
Both Gernon and Kennedy will retire prior to the 2020 AGM, the group said.
'Integral Part'
“Frank has been an integral part of our Group for over 45 years and has served as an Executive Director of Total Produce since 2007," commented Carl McCann, Total Produce's chairman. "His outstanding service, dedication and accomplishments have been invaluable. During his tenure he has played a key role in the stewardship and development of the Group.
"Jerome has served as a Non-executive Director on the Board and its Committees since the formation of Total Produce Plc. The Group has benefitted greatly from his business acumen, professionalism and wise counsel over the years."
Helen Nolan, currently a senior executive and company secretary for Bank of Ireland, will join the board as a non-executive director, with effect from 1 July 2019.
McCann described Nolan as a "a highly experienced senior financial executive with the Bank of Ireland where she is also Company Secretary. We look forward to her contribution to the continued development of Total Produce.”
