World foods B Corp Golden Acre has appointed a new finance director, Andrew Ditton, to support the company’s growth ambitions.
Reaching £130m turnover in 2024, and “tracking significantly ahead” in 2025, Golden Acre has declared plans to scale its operations further with Ditton on board.
Tasked with transforming the business’ financial systems by “streamlining processes and challenging legacy systems”, Ditton will prepare Golden Acre to handle the “increased complexity” that comes with scale.
Ditton moves to Golden Acre with fresh experience in system change, most recently serving as commercial finance lead at marketing company Acosta Europe: there, he led “transformational change” across the company’s finance systems.
“Andy brings a sharp strategic mind and a hands-on approach to finance transformation,” said Golden Acre CEO Neale Powell-Cook.
“His experience across both technical and commercial functions makes him ideally placed to help us future-proof our systems and support our continued growth. We’re delighted to welcome him to the team.”
Ditton said: “I’m extremely excited to join such a talented team as we embark on a period of change to get our systems ready for the next chapter of our growth journey.
“The company deeply cares about its people, its products and its environmental impact. With such strong values, I’m confident we’ll continue to grow the world food category for both us and our customers.”
Golden Acre specialises in yoghurts, halal meats, Scandi-inspired seafood, smoked sausages and protein shakes, and recently launched a range of lunchbox-friendly halal meat snacks in August through its Najma brand.
