On Monday 3 April 2023, Mr Robert Craig was appointed as a non-executive member of the Penrith Farmers’ and Kidd’s PLC Board of Directors.
I, along with the rest of the Board, am delighted to welcome Robert to the Board. Robert is a partner in 3 dairy farms and is the past county chairman of Cumbria NFU as well as being a Nuffield scholar. In 2012, he became Chairman of Penrith and the Border Conservative Association and in 2014 he jointly won the Farmers Weekly Dairy Farmers of the Year award. Robert is a non-executive Director and Vice Chairman of First Milk Ltd, a wholly British farmer-owned dairy co-operative, and a trustee and Vice Chairman of the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers, the sole UK charity focused on the unique needs of milk producers.
Robert’s commercial and agricultural experience will no doubt prove to be a huge asset to PFK and we hope that you will join us in welcoming Robert to the Company.
