I also have great confidence that Ado, with his long experience and track record, will follow through the latest journey we have just started, towards a Better Chicken for a Better Life. I look forward to retaining my connection with all the group companies through special projects and by serving as Board member, says Vincent Carton.

I am convinced that his personal qualities and background are ideal for both taking Manor Farm to the next level and to be a valuable contribution to the Scandi Standard management team.
