Re: Have corporate parasites taken over First Milk
From talking to our region director Tom Campbell the impression I get is there job is no way a two day a week job, maybe it was a long time ago in Scotish Milk days but since then we have merged with another co-op and now we are one of the largest cheese producers in the uk. I dont know Sherlaw but Campbell is enthuiastic, plain talking,very approachable. A top man for the job. His mobile phone is never switched off, think how that phone rings from psd off farmers. I bet u some days it'll never stop ringing and how are you meant to work, in this job, with that???? 35k after tax will pay for a dairyman so they can do their job full time. And whats left from paying the dairymen wont really leave that much left for the directors. Go to your regional meetings and you'll find that out.

Have corporate parasites taken over First Milk
I spoke to Tom Campbell at Agri Scot and to say he was unhappy with my comments would be an understatement, but after a heated discussion he explained that the job means being away from home sometimes more than 3 days a week and he needed to employ a man to replace him which I accept, but I feel there is a problem when a decision is made to increase their remuneration in early spring and we dont find out until september,there were also 10 rule changes rushed through an extra ordinary AGM in May with no explanation , if these directors want to be paid top dollar they will have to communicate with the members and keep us in the picture, much of the resentment about their remuneration is down to lack of information and trust.

…
What does anybody think of the 10 minute short film of the AGM and pre-meeting dinner. There is a link on the potter quota news page.
Sorry I am not good enough on this to put the link on here.

…New Director
First Milk appoint a new main board director on friday. I hope it is a practical dairy farmer who prefers a boilersuit to the pinstripe suit we need someone with common sense not a whiz kid with big ideas.
We need a real farmer/director a producers man. Anybody any ideas?

Have corporate parasites taken over First Milk
Charryman:- My comment about the boilersuit was a dig at one of the current board members who has just taken on another post(vice chairman of Dairy Co) he is also chairman of NDFAS and he has something to do with the little red tractor, I dont want a new director who is just in it for the renumeration on as many different boards as possible, I would like someone who is fully committed to First Milk and their own business,IMO being a Director of First Milk and running a farm is more than enough, any more commitments and something suffers.
