Justin McCarthy has joined Townview as executive chair.
He left the editorial and CEO roles with the Irish Farmers Journal in March and has clearly taken some time out before this career move. Townview specialises in sustainably sourcing and supplying high-quality BRC-certified meat, seafood, and dairy ingredients worldwide. The company was set up in 1999 and was acquired by the Roebuck Food Group in 2012. The CEO of Roebuck is Kieran Mahon who has extensive experience in the food industry, having previously worked as a food equity analyst with Davy Stockbrokers and with the Irish Farmers Journal as the paper’s business editor. So, it’s something of a reunion. We wish Justin the best of luck in his new role.
