Fonterra Shareholders’ Council Chairman, Ian Brown has today been re-elected unopposed to the position for a third term.
Ian Brown: “I appreciate the support I continue to receive from Councillors and look forward to leading the Council for
a further 12 months.”
Mr Brown is joined by first time Deputy Chair, Duncan Coull, also elected unopposed, who will take up his new role on 29

thank him for his hard work and dedication.

work to improve Fonterra Farmers’ returns through effective monitoring and strong representation.”
