Rob Hewett, Chairman of Farmlands Co-operative Limited, today announced the resignation of Farmlands CEO, Peter Reidie, after a period of five years at the helm of the organisation. During his five years as CEO of Farmlands, Peter has led the business through very significant change, Mr Hewett said. His feel for the complexities of the environment we are in and his strategic vision have positioned Farmlands well to manage both the opportunities and the risks that we face. Peter’s task when he came on board as Chief Executive five years ago was to complete the merger of two very different rural services co-operatives, not just into one ‘Farmlands’ culture but into a business that could effectively leverage its scale as a rural supplies and advisory company with a true national footprint.
