Milk Link announces result of Cumbria and south west Scotland council election
17/02/05

Milk Link, one of the UK's leading dairy co-operatives, has announced the results of its Council Member Election for Cumbria and South West Scotland. Kevin Beaty of Hill Top Farm, Carlisle, Chris Johnston of Skirwith Abbey, Cumbria and Tommy MacTaggart of Rascarrel Farm, Castle Douglas will represent the interests of local Milk Link members on the Council.

The Member Council is an important decision-making body. It is responsible for the election of the farmer-elected directors to the Milk Link Governing Board and is also required to approve any grant of the Members Guarantee as security for any borrowings by Milk Link. The Council is also a vital two-way communications link between the Membership and Board.

The three Council Members for Cumbria and South West Scotland have been Milk Link members since April 2004.

Mark Brooking, Membership Director, said, "I congratulate Kevin Beaty, Chris Johnston and Tommy MacTaggart on their successful appointment as representatives of their local group in Cumbria and South West Scotland. The Member Council is an important part of the decision making process and is a vital communication link between Milk Link's senior management and the co-operative's 2,500 members."
