Dairy executive enters as chairman at New Zealand King Salmon

Exiting chairman John Ryder has been with the company for 13 years.

Mark Dewdney has been appointed as chairman of New Zealand King Salmon.

Dewdney is currently a director of Tatua Dairy Co-operative and has held management positions with a range of companies, including NZ Dairy Group and Fonterra, where he was managing director for Fonterra Ingredients in Asia. From there he moved into his first CEO position with the Livestock Improvement Corporation, before becoming CEO for agricultural supply business PGG Wrightson in 2013.

Outgoing chairman John Ryder has been with NZKS for 13 years.

Rising fish mortalities tied to higher seawater temperatures have spurred the company to explore moving its farming facilities offshore where waters are cooler and more conducive to salmon farming.

“It is very good news, and we are excited for what this means to our business and the industry,” acting CEO Graeme Tregidga told IntraFish.
