Management structure for Morpol's Scottish farming operation

The managing director of the combined company will be William Liston, former managing director of Lakeland Group. William Young, former managing director of Northern Isles Salmon Ltd. is named production director and the department heads of freshwater, seawater and the technical area will report to him. Mark Warrington will be in charge of the sales, processing and harvesting departments. William Liston will report to Steven Rafferty, Morpol CFO and liaise on sales and processing with John-Paul McGinley, Morpol COO. "We are very pleased to have the new management structure in place for our farming operations in Scotland, and particularly to have William Liston as the managing director with his vast experience built up over many years. He has led the Lakeland Group to be recognised as one of the top performing companies, not only in Scotland, but on a global basis. Morpol management will have close contact with the Scottish management with an aim to maximise profitability and synergies throughout the value chain and to take an innovative approach to the company", said Jerzy Malek, Morpol CEO. "I am delighted and honoured to have been given the privilege of leading the combined forces of what was previously the Lakeland Group and Northern Isles Salmon. We will shortly be bringing these two names under one umbrella. The newly formed company, as part of the Morpol group, will play a major role within the Scottish salmon industry, employing over 300 people", said William Liston.
