A man in your position should surely knows that there would be no letters or emails these dirty deeds are done with no trace.............. otherwise big fines !!
The only thing Arla will have is an invoice for shelf space for 3/4/5 years for £10 million, you shold know how these things work.

So just more hearsay and of course nothing to do with other issues. Why do you insist on throwing mud at Arla but we are expected to keep our mouths shut because it is a fellow co-op.

It seems a common theme that Arla members are happy to wish others well while the reverse is not always true , with the perputrators usually acusing the arla members of their own anti opposition stance . It's getting a little like American politics !
 
Same old same as! Chasing the same markets in an ever decreasing circle.
Get a Salesman on your Board one rung below MD or better still an MD who is a salesman. There is more than a commodity market out there if you go looking.
I would have gone down the route of splitting Free Range from Factory production milk and also like the Kendalife man got some Cantonese sales people. In fact if anyone on your board had even half a brain they would have bought him out by now.
He has a good foothold in the biggest market in the world while your board have endless meetings which are the same quality and end result as what comes out of the tail end of your cows.
They are chasing crumbs, spectacularly unsuccessfully too, where they should be ultra positive and look outwards in a big way.

I really don't have a clue but I'm sure we sell majority of the cheese to ornua? Went down the added value route and look how that turned out! Fm business is effectively producing efficient cheese, that's better than arlas obv, and brokering liquid milk. Can u fill us in @westwards with any other detail to the fm business?

Your dad was there and know's as much or more than me @supercow
I am not on here to have a go at Arla,but when one of their guy's have a pop I will defend FM most of the time. This is a FM thread after all. And tell the truth as I know it.

If you have got any doubts about what went on in the past you could always ask Shelagh and Carl, who together ran most of Milklink.

They will sort you out.
