It is a privilege to step into the role of CEO at Maui Milk and Southern Cross Dairy Sheep Technology. I want to thank Greg for his leadership over the past four years, and it has been great to work alongside him during that time as a Supplier. And I share his confidence that Maui and the sheep milk industry are on the brink of an exciting new chapter.
I am a qualified CA (Chartered Accountant), with experience in commercial management of high-value exports and dairy logistics. Five years ago, my wife and I traded corporate life for the rolling green hills of the Waikato, where we now milk Southern Cross ewes with the help of great staff and our children. We saw milking sheep as a good fit for our class of land, and we think it works well.
Our current focus on Maui is on expanding our milk supply base, as demand now exceeds supply through new supply partners, and continuing to advance our genetics programme. Additionally, we aim to strengthen our production and sales partnerships through some exciting new product developments.
I look forward to collaborating with our suppliers, shareholders, staff, and partners to build global recognition for NZ sheep milk as a grass-fed, nutritious, sustainable product.
Malcolm Edward
CEO, Maui Milk
