Organic food firm’s boss to leave for ‘next adventure’

Mitchell will officially stand down as ceo of the Gloucestershire-based firm at the end of March.

Nick Fletcher, currently financial director of Daylesford Organic, will lead the day-to-day running of the firm – supported by operations director Mark Bright and supply chain director Ben Tuppen.

‘Next adventure’​

Mitchell said: “The time is right for my next adventure. I am leaving the businesses in positions of great strength, with experienced leadership teams and exciting growth plans.”​

Prior to joining Daylesford, Mitchell was the UK md of Innocent Drinks, where he tripled the business to £100M turnover in three years, according to Daylesford.

In 2008, he was named as a young global leader by the World Economic Forum.

Daylesford’s products are available at farm shops in Gloucestershire, London, the south of England and Japan – as well as through online retailer Ocado.
