Mowi Ireland has named Catherine McManus its new operations director.

McManus has been part of the Mowi team for over 30 years, most recently in the role of technical manager in Ireland.

She brings a wealth of experience and an incredibly strong track record to the role, under which she will take on complete management oversight of the company’s Ireland farming operations.

She succeeds Jan Feenstra, who will retire July 1 after more than two decades at the helm.

“I look forward to building on the unwavering commitment and vision of my predecessor, Jan Feenstra and harnessing the opportunity which is set out clearly by Government strategy."
