Omsco’s current strategy is focused on repositioning the business by creating strong commercial relationships both in the UK and overseas, while developing its own brands.

In a statement sent to Farmers Weekly, the co-op stated that the past couple of years have been highly challenging both for Omsco and the wider organic dairy sector.

Mr Anthony said: “I’m delighted to be assuming the role of chief executive of Omsco and look forward to working with the board and wider Omsco team to deliver for our organic dairy farmer members. 

“Although the current market conditions are undoubtedly challenging, I believe that we are capable of riding out this latest storm and in line with our strategy are well placed to build a long-term, value-added, organic dairy business.”
