Maui Milk has named Malcolm Edward as its new CEO. Edward, a sheep dairy farmer and chartered accountant, takes over from Greg Hamill. His diverse background includes commercial management of exports and dairy logistics before venturing into sheep milk farming in Waikato.

- Edward currently operates his own dairy sheep enterprise, contributing to his in-depth understanding of the challenges Maui Milk’s partners face.
- His appointment is timely as demand for Maui's products now outstrips supply, necessitating new supply chain partnerships.
- Edward intends to develop the Southern Cross Dairy Sheep Technology genetics programme further, leveraging it as a competitive advantage in New Zealand’s growing sheep milk industry.
