FABAL's New CEO

Some of you may not be aware that FABAL celebrated its 30th birthday in June 2012.  The directors and staff of FABAL are very proud to have reached this milestone. AKeegan4

Without detracting from the significance of this achievement the FABAL Board have also been reviewing how it can best prepare and position its business to better serve its stakeholders into the future.  

Consequently, as part of a broader strategic restructure, and in recognition of his capabilities and development within the business, the Board has appointed Ashley Keegan to the position of Chief Executive Officer of Food And Beverage Australia Limited (FABAL) with effect from the 2nd of July 2012.

As many of you will already know, Ashley is a committed team member, a strong leader and has the attributes that are required to lead FABAL and its associated entities into the next chapter of their development and growth.

We wish to assure you that your investment is in no way affected or jeopardised by either the strategic restructure in general, or by the appointment of Ashley to his new position. 

In his capacity as CEO of FABAL, Ashley will continue to work with and alongside me although my major focus will be on a broader development of the overall business whilst Ashley expands his skills within the FABAL structure as you know it.  Importantly, there is no change to FABAL’s capacity as an AFS Licensee or as Responsible Entity to your Project.

FABAL is also very fortunate to have a first class team which will continue to surround and support Ashley into the future.

We hope that you will join Peter Kerin, Dim Georgiadis, myself and the rest of the FABAL Board in congratulating Ashley on this appointment.

We look forward to seeing you at the forthcoming Grower Seminars during August, or at some other time in the near future.

Sincerely,

Chris
