Commenting on the appointment of Mr Conway, Roebuck Chief Executive Kieran
Mahon stated:

"Last year we lost our long-standing Chairman, the late Ted O'Neill, who
oversaw both the 2021 transaction which returned  £50 million to
shareholders and the steady refocussing of the Group's activities after that
to what they are today.  We are delighted that Tommy Conway is now
undertaking the role of Chairman to lead the next exciting chapter for our
company.  Tommy's agricultural science and climate qualifications, and his
experience in plc and private company advisory and M&A will be great
assets as we drive forward our strategic mission to deliver stakeholder value
creation across innovation, efficiency and sustainability in agriculture and
food production."
