During that time, he has taken the co-op on a remarkable growth journey.' On his appointment, O'Sullivan himself said: 'I'm really excited at the prospect of taking up this post at Arrabawn Tipperary Co-Op.

'The new co-op is ambitious, and I completely share the excitement around the opportunity that lies ahead for it and its members,' he added. 'At the same time, I acknowledge that there will be challenges along the way as this is a fast-changing industry, but the right level of strategic planning, people management and, of course, a continuing pursuit of excellence will ensure the success of the business.' 'I'm very much looking forward to taking up the post and working in partnership with the board, with Conor until his retirement later this year, the wider leadership team, employees and, indeed, the wider co-op membership,' O'Sullivan said.
