This week Nick talks to Alk Brand

Alk Brand is a global agribusiness leader and the Chief Executive Officer of Wynnstay Group PLC, one of the UK’s leading agricultural supplies businesses. With more than two decades of executive leadership experience, he has led major food, agriculture, and supply chain organisations across five continents, including serving as Global CEO of Westfalia Fruit and Hans Merensky Holdings, Managing Director of Richardson Milling, and CEO of Pioneer Foods UK.

Nick and Alk discuss Alk Brand’s lifelong connection to agriculture, from growing up on a farm in South Africa to leading major global agribusinesses and becoming CEO of Wynnstay Group. The conversation explores Wynnstay’s role in supporting UK food security through its feed, arable, grain trading, and retail operations, as well as the company’s growth strategy, investment priorities, and transformation programme, Project Genesis. They discuss the resilience of British farmers, the importance of rural communities, sustainability, innovation, logistics, and technology in modern agriculture, alongside the opportunities for expansion through organic growth and acquisitions. Alk also shares his leadership philosophy, his optimism for the future of UK agriculture, and his belief that Wynnstay can continue to grow by becoming an increasingly integrated and valuable partner to farmers across the UK.
