Cranswick plc

This announcement is further to our full year results released earlier today, in which the retirement of Bernard Hoggarth as an Executive Director of the Company was announced.

Bernard, who stood down from the position of Chief Executive in 2012 and has continued since on a part-time basis, is retiring from the Board at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Bernard has been with Cranswick for 36 years and has made an enormous contribution to the development of the Company. Over this period the business has evolved from an East Yorkshire supplier of animal feed into one of the UK's leading food producers. His involvement over the years has embraced at different times animal feed sales, pig rearing and marketing along with the development into food production. This period has seen Cranswick progress from being a farmer-owned regional business into a listing on the London Stock Exchange and a member of the FTSE250.

The Board would like to thank Bernard for his invaluable advice and guidance and to wish him well for the years ahead. 

Malcolm Windeatt

Company Secretary
