Seamus Banim has been appointed group head of communications at Lakeland Dairies. He joins the cross-border co-op after a short stint as communications and engagement manager at the Irish Exporters Association. Perhaps his most notable prior role was group communications director at ABP Food Group, a role he held for just over 10 years. He also has experience with retailers – he was head of communications with Tesco Ireland at one stage in his career too.
