First Milk appoints coo following finance boss’s exit
First Milk appointed former Molson Coors man Brain Mackie as its new chief operating officer, following Gerry Sweeney’s departure from the co-operative.
Mackie will lead the finance, legal and human resources at First Milk as a result of Sweeney stepping down as finance director.
He has been a non-executive director of First Milk since June 2015 and has proved an “outstanding addition to the board”, First Milk ceo Mike Gallacher said.
“He has significant and broad business experience, strong leadership and high energy levels, so I am delighted that he has agreed to step into this key executive role,” he added.
