    The appointment might appear like that on the face of it but I'm sure he's got more calibre and know the local dairy industry thoroughly.
    I wouldn't draw any foregone conclusions with his earlier association with Fonterra being a negative one, on the other hand see it positive as he would've learnt a lesson or two on how not to screw up things like his ex employer did.

    Fair to say he wasn't the guy at the top so could be extremely frustrated with how things have been going at Fonterra like a lot of others are.

    0800-ADD VALUE - I think he must like the national call center number too

    I suspect a lot of people at Fonterra know what they would like to do. ie, add value, rather than just be the world low-cost swing producer of milk powders, but a number of features of Fonterra constrain their ability to do this in practice. eg. its massive size where even large-ish value-add successes don't move the dial; the co-op structure with low profit retention for reinvestment; farmers risk appetite (many are massively personally indebted so would prefer cash in the hand, to two birds in the bush); Fonterra's difficulty in building businesses which would compete with key customers (Nestle etc); Fonterra's confused strategy (eg, given how much milk they already collect in NZ, why develop milk pools in more markets when they struggle to add value to all the existing NZ milk collected).

    So maybe this guy knows exactly what he wants to do, wanted to do it at Fonterra but was frustrated by some of the above factors, and now he is a Synlait he can do what he's always wanted to do. And at Synlait he'll find and be supported by a company, board and mgmt. already a way down the road to adding value to milk.

    Market reaction wasn't so flash yesterday. Maybe they are moving form "underwhelmed" to "neutral" to "positive"

    I’ve been really impressed with the way SML have delivered strong results over the last couple of years, there has been a noticable shift in professionalism from the company in line with growing results which is good to see.

    With strong cashflow generation I can see the business growing significantly every five years as they reinvest in new plant plus new products/markets.

    Happy to be a long term holder here.

    I never know whether ‘big crossings’ are a positive or a negative for a stock ...or is it just normal activity that is sort of neutral

    Still learning
