Damien Corcoran is one of five new directors appointed to the board of the Isle of Man Meat Plant.
The newly appointed chairman of the Isle of Man's abattoir Meat Plant has said his priority in the role was to get to understand the challenges facing the facility.
Issues at the plant led to the Manx National Farmers' Union declaring a vote of no confidence in the facility's senior team last month. Other new members appointed were butcher Rob Teare, red meat businessman Philip Birnie, farmer Andrew McKeown, and agricultural economist and principal author of a comprehensive report on the abattoir Jonathan Birnie.
Reflecting on the role of the facility and its potential for the future he said the "abattoir and meat generally is a critical part of food security".
