Mustoe said: “It was a very tough decision to finalise the six farmer directors and there were a number of close calls. However, I believe we will have a better-balanced Board in place that gives us the broader commercial expertise.”

Mustoe, finance director Ian Forgie, chief executive Kate Allum and two non-executive directors also sit on the board.
