There has been a big change here at Cricketer Farm (but don’t worry our Westcountry cheese is still just as delicious!), our Managing Director Paddy O’Keefe is moving within the business to become MD of Cricketer’s sister company, St Helen’s Farm, in Yorkshire and Greg Parsons has joined us as our new Managing Director.
Greg has spent three years as Commercial Director at Ashley Chase, which produces the Ford Farm branded cheeses, (so he joins us with all the right experience!) before that Greg spent a very successful seven years across various senior roles at Dairy Crest UK Ltd – so it’s fair to say he knows cheese inside out!
Greg will not only help us continue the work we do providing the supermarkets across the UK with our delicious lower fat cheeses, he will also help us to spread the word about Nether Stowey Reserve, our first Cricketer branded Cheddar, which has already proven a hit with customers of The co-operative!
We have now said a fond farewell to Paddy but although he is off to Yorkshire, we won’t miss him to much as he is going to remain as a Director of Cricketer Farm – so we’ll still see plenty of him!
Jo.
