Former Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy has been appointed the new chair of the Meat Industry Association following the retirement of John Loughlin from the role.
Loughlin finishes his six-year term after the annual Red Meat Sector Conference in Christchurch at the end of July.
“It has been a privilege to serve as MIA chair for the last six years,” Loughlin said.
“This was a time of challenge and opportunity and it has been great to be part of the red meat sector working cohesively and contributing to the wider primary sector.”
Loughlin said that Guy has a strong primary sector background and understands the challenges and opportunities that primary industries face: “As a former Crown Minister, including as the Minister for Primary Industries, Nathan brings his experience, understanding, networking and relationship skills to the role.”

Guy said he was looking forward to taking a lead in the sector and working with a range of stakeholders: “As incoming chair, and on behalf of the Meat Industry Association, I’d like to thank John for his contribution and acknowledge the depth of industry and governance experience that he has brought to the role.”
