Glanbia plc, the global performance nutrition and ingredients group (the 'Group', 'Glanbia'), announced this week that Henry Corbally has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Glanbia plc Board.

He succeeds Liam Herlihy, who has served as chairman for the past seven years. Mr Corbally has also been appointed as chairman of Glanbia Co-operative Society Limited and Glanbia Ingredients Ireland Limited.

The Board also appointed Mr Patrick Murphy as one of the two vice-chairmen of Glanbia plc in succession to Mr Corbally. The other vice-chairman of Glanbia plc is Mr Martin Keane who continues in that role. Mr Murphy has also been appointed vice-chairman of Glanbia Co-operative Society Limited.

Also appointed were three new non-executive directors, among them Patsy Ahern from Sheanmore, Ballyduff Upper in Co Waterford.

Mr Corbally said he was 'honoured' to be appointed to serve as chairman of Glanbia, saying it is 'an organisation with a rich history and deep commitment to its members and shareholders'.

Thanking the Board for their confidence in him, he said he hopes to play his part in building 'on the great foundations that have been laid down by all those who have had the vision to make Glanbia into the world class organisation it is today'.

"In particular I would like to pay tribute to the leadership shown by my predecessor, Liam Herlihy, who has served with great distinction on the Board of Glanbia for the last 18 years and as chairman for the last seven.

"Glanbia has grown from strength to strength in recent years and I look forward to working with the Board, the executive team, the staff and the members to ensure that the organisation continues to deliver for all our shareholders and stakeholders”.
