Appointment of Environmental and Sustainability Manager

 

Wynnstay, the agricultural supplies group, is pleased to announce the
appointment of Lewis Davies as Environmental and Sustainability Manager, a
newly-created role, effective immediately.

 

Lewis will lead the ongoing development and implementation of Wynnstay's ESG
strategy across the Group. He will also act as a representative for Wynnstay
as the Company works with its peers to promote increased sustainability
throughout UK agriculture, including as a member of the sustainabiliy
committee of the agrisupply industry's leading trade association, the
Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC).

 

Lewis joined Wynnstay in 2014 and has latterly been involved in the creation
of Wynnstay's sustainability objectives, which encompass raw materials
sourcing, waste management and energy efficiency as primary areas of focus.
His experience in sustainability is supported by specialist domain study at
Harper Adams University, where he gained a post-graduate certificate in
International Agri-Business and Food Chain Managment, with research projects
focused on sustainability in UK farming.

 

This appointment is an important step in the further development of Wynnstay's
ESG programme, which aims to incorporate sustainable principles across all
operations. In additition, it supports Wynnstay's objective of providing
farmers with products and services that support the transition to the new
environmental priorities set by the UK Agricultural Bill, which came into
effect in 2021 following the UK's departure from the European Union.

 

Gareth Davies, Chief Executive Officer of Wynnstay Group plc, commented:

 

"We are very pleased to appoint Lewis to this new role. Our ESG programme is a
key pillar in our growth strategy. As well as driving our own environmental
and sustainability agenda within the Group, we aim to support our customers
with advice, products and services as they adapt to the new environmental and
efficiency priorities set by the UK Agriculture Bill."
