For an initial three-year term, Geoff Starr has been appointed as Australian Pork Limited's Specialist Director following the retirement of Professor Robert van Barneveld after eight years.

Starr has an impressive pedigree with a background in marketing and the food industry and brings a wealth of knowledge to APL.

Specialist Director, Enzo Allara AM, who has been on the APL Board for eight years, serving as Chair for the majority of this period, was reappointed for a further three year term. Allara has been involved in the food and grocery industry both in Australia and internationally for over 40 years.

The Chair of the APL Board took the opportunity at the recent Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Melbourne, to thank Professor van Barneveld for the enormous contribution he has made to the industry, during the past eight years.

Congratulations were also extended to Elected Director John Coward who was re-elected unopposed at the AGM for a further three year term. Currently, Coward works as a pork industry consultant and is president of Pork Queensland Inc.
