Beef + Lamb NZ Chairman Andrew Morrison Has Lost His Seat On The Board

Beef + Lamb NZ chairman Andrew Morrison has lost his seat on the board, after being rolled by Southland farmer Geoffrey Young for the position of southern South Island director. Mr Young received 8,777 votes while incumbent director and chair Morrison received 6,587 votes – a winning margin of 2,190 votes. Morrison’s term will conclude at the end of the B+LNZ annual meeting on March 30 and the board will elect a new chair following the meeting. Geoffrey Young says his aim is always about getting a grassroots farming voice around the Beef + Lamb table and while it will be a challenge he says he is looking forward to it.”
