The Board has elected Sir Robert McLeod – currently the Deputy Chairman – to replace Norling.
Norling commented: “During my tenure as Chairman, it has been a pleasure to see the company on a voyage of transformation, as it focuses on being a producer of branded seafood and other value-added marine-based products of substantially higher value, rather than selling into the international commodity markets, as it had done in the past.”
