New chairman at dairy firm as top job is kept in family

Alan Wiseman stood down yesterday as executive chairman of Robert Wiseman Dairies after 43 years with the company, at a shareholders’ meeting at which his successor and younger brother Robert paid him a handsome tribute for creating one of Scotland’s business success stories.

The retiring chairman, who joined his father’s firm in 1967 and took over the reins nine years later, signed off on a high, reporting sales growth of 11.6% in the first quarter.
