Jon Duffy to step down as AF Group Chief Executive in 2020

The AF Group, the UK’s leading procurement Co-Operative for farmers, has announced that Jon Duffy, their CEO, will be leaving the business in summer 2020.

“I believe AF is now in a strong position to continue to grow its membership”, commented Jon, “driven by the services that are proving so successful for our farmers. Since joining nearly three years ago, I have worked closely with the board and senior management team and together we have created a business that is fit for today’s farming environment and equipped to help farmers adapt to the undoubted challenges that lie ahead”.

Nigel Savory, Chairman of AF, stated “I cannot thank Jon enough for the changes that he has helped us instigate. We now have a very dynamic business to build upon and I am looking forward to continuing to work with Jon and the senior management team he has assembled. We will now identify a new CEO to continue to drive our growth agenda and to return ever greater value to our members and help them with the challenges and opportunities facing UK agriculture“.
