The Traceability Design User Group (TDUG), the cross-industry body set up to guide and advise the work of the Livestock Information Programme, has selected Laura Ryan as its new chair.
Ms Ryan’s appointment comes after a competitive process overseen by senior meat and livestock industry figures from TDUG itself. She will formally begin the two-year position on 1 June 2020, taking over from John Cross, who took up the role of Chair of LI Ltd in February.
Commenting on her selection, Laura Ryan said: “I’m delighted to have been selected by TDUG members to chair the group at such a vital time for our sector, guiding us through a period of strategic planning whilst introducing further global insight. “
AHDB Chief Executive Jane King welcomed the appointment, saying: “I’m delighted that Laura is going to continue her association with the programme. She’s known and respected throughout the livestock industry and brings an enormous amount of skill and experience to the role.”
Chair of Livestock Information Ltd John Cross said: “Laura is a real asset to TDUG and the Livestock Information Programme as a whole. I’m very pleased that she’s been appointed and look forward to working with her in this new role as we bring much-needed modernisation to this vital area of agriculture.”
