Tim Gibson has been appointed to the Board of Silver Fern Farms Cooperative as an independent director.
Cooperative Chair Richard Young said Gibson’s global food sector experience and affinity to the co-operative model would be an asset to the board.
Gibson is a current director on the boards of Livestock Improvement Corporation (LIC), Miraka Limited, and Port Otago Limited. He is also a director on the board of Skills International, the international subsidiary of Skills NZ, one of New Zealand’s largest ITOs. Gibson’s early career was in the dairy industry, prior to becoming the inaugural chief executive of NZ Trade and Enterprise.
Independent director Trevor Burt retired from the cooperative’s board, ending a 10 and a half-year association with Silver Fern Farms. Young thanked him for his contribution to the company.
“Trevor Burt has made a significant contribution to Silver Fern Farms over that time. His experience and wisdom has been extremely influential in guiding the company, his contribution has been immense, and his fellow directors wish him well.”
