Bega Cheese announced that long standing director Max Roberts intends to step down from the board as soon as a suitable replacement is found. Mr. Roberts has been a Director of Bega Cheese from before its IPO in 2011 and has moved from farmer and farmer director to independent director, bringing all his skills as a farmer, businessman and past president of Dairy Australia. While Mr. Roberts is not up for election at the fiscal year 2018 AGM, he feels it is timely to make way for a new director that can bring new insights and experiences to the Bega Cheese Board.
