AH Worth has announced the appointment of Matt Walton as managing director of its Fosdyke and vegetable farms.
Walton was former managing director of Branston and previously part of the AH Worth team until 2024.
He brings extensive experience in the fresh produce sector and will oversee the group’s produce farming and production operations across the UK, Spain and Italy.
“I’m excited to be returning to AH Worth and taking on this role at such an important time,” said Walton. “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.”
At the same time, Alex Boughton will move into a more focused role as managing director of AH Worth & Company.
In this position, he will lead the group’s central support functions, its arable farming operations and support the development of the property portfolio, as well as overseeing growth and diversification opportunities.
“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,” said Boughton. “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.”
The company said it hoped these changes would give both areas the “focused attention they deserve”.
