Neil Kennedy – Optimism in the industry and opportunities for Crediton Dairy

On this week’s podcast, hosts Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Neil Kennedy Chairman at Crediton, alongside Kite’s David Levick and Chris Walkland. Neil has been instrumental in driving significant changes during his career within the dairy industry, playing an important role in the Milk Link/Arla merger before acquiring the Crediton business. With extensive involvement in a number of other dairy businesses including Omsco, Rodda’s, Ornua UK, Belton Cheese as well as Dairy UK, he is well placed to discuss the future growth opportunities of value added products, whilst looking to encourage consumer trade-ups. Neil and David discuss how the relationship with their farmers is critical to the Crediton business and Neil speaks optimistically about the expansion and new entrants they are seeing in their supply group.
