Fresh produce supplier A.H. Worth has appointed Matt Walton as managing director of its Fosdyke site and vegetable farms.
Matt, former managing director of Branston Ltd and previously part of the A.H. Worth team until 2024, brings extensive experience in the fresh produce sector. In his new role, he will oversee the group’s produce farming and production operations across the UK, Spain and Italy.
Commenting on his return, Matt said: “I’m excited to be returning to A.H. Worth and taking on this role at such an important time. With a strong heritage and a clear vision for the future, there are huge opportunities to expand and build on both the company’s track record and the success of the team – and I look forward to playing my part in that journey.”
Alongside Matt’s appointment, Alex Boughton will move into a more focused role as managing director, A.H. Worth & Company. In this position, he will lead the group’s central support functions (People and Finance), its arable farming operations, and support the development of the property portfolio, as well as overseeing new growth and diversification opportunities.
Alex said: “This new structure allows us to sharpen our focus on operational excellence in our Fosdyke and farms business, while also growing our arable farming and property operations. It enables us to accelerate diversification and growth initiatives and strengthen central support functions across the group.
“Most importantly, this structure provides even greater clarity and support for our teams, helping them keep doing what they do best while opening up new opportunities for growth.”
