Troy Setter has been elected as the new Chair of the livestock export industry’s research and development body, LiveCorp, following today’s annual general meeting in Townsville.
The change comes about due to the retirement of Terry Enright, who reached his maximum term on the Board after joining in 2010, and has spent the past two years as Chair.
LiveCorp CEO Sam Brown has thanked Mr Enright on behalf of the industry.
“As a sheep and cattle farmer, Terry’s provided tremendous insights from a different side of the industry, and his knowledge of the RDC space from his time on the Grains Research and Development Corporation Board has been a real benefit for LiveCorp,” Mr Brown said.
“We are grateful for his considered and steady leadership in a time of great turmoil over the past few years, and wish him all the best.”
New Chair Troy Setter is the Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Pastoral Company (CPC), Australia’s largest private beef producer with two feedlots in Indonesia.
He has worked in many areas of agribusiness, including beef, sheep, grains, cotton, land development and logistics, spent nine years as a director of the Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council (ALEC), and is a member of the Indonesian Australian Red Meat Partnership.
The Board is now made up of skills-based independent directors Lisa Dwyer, Melissa Holzberger and Troy Setter, re-elected exporter representative directors Angus Adnam and Michael Gordon, and ex-officio director and Chair of the ALEC board, Simon Crean.
