New strategy boosts Anpario as chairman steps down

Investors in international producer and distributor of natural feed additives for animal health, Anpario, were gathering for the company’s annual general meeting on Thursday, with chairman Richard Rose confirming “strong” sales growth in the year to date.

The AIM-traded company said the growth was directly attributable to the strategic initiatives implemented in 2016, which was providing confidence to the board to accelerate the investment in recruitment of sales and technical personnel.

“[I] will step down on 1 September after 11 years as non-executive chairman,” Rose added in his statement.

“Peter Lawrence will take over as non-executive chairman and a new non-executive director appointment will be announced shortly.”

The company's interim results for the six month period ended 30 June would be announced on 19 September, Rose confirmed.
