About Larry Goodman
- Laurence "Larry" Goodman (born 15 September 1937) is an Irish businessman, chiefly involved in the beef processing industry.
- He is the 6th generation of a livestock and meat exporting family and founded what is now ABP Food Group in 1954.
- He is the Executive Chairman of the company which has grown to become one of Europe’s largest agri-business companies with 51 processing plants in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Denmark, Holland, Austria, Poland.
- ABP employs over 11,000 people.
- Separately, the Goodman family office has business interests in property, healthcare and productive arable and beef farming. His companies attracted controversy during the 1991 Beef Tribunal while a burger manufacturing facility, Silvercrest, was one of a number of high profile food manufacturing facilities which were inadvertently caught up in the Europe-wide equine DNA matter in 2013.
- However, an investigation by the Irish Government into the issue concluded, the company had never knowingly purchased meat containing equine DNA.
