Employee-Owned Trust:

Employee-Owned Trust

Mole End Farms Ltd is progressing towards Employee ownership, which we are hoping will be achieved by the beginning of September 2024 .

This succession planning was seen as providing the most stable future for the business, which ultimately will see the majority shareholding being held by an employee owned Trust , which will operate solely for the benefit those employed.

About Mole End Farms

Mole End Farms grows top fruit organically on approximately 110 Hectares across 8 sites in Kent at Cranbrook, Marden, Goudhurst, Sandhurst and Chart Sutton. We grow, store, pack and market our own produce.

Mole End Farms Ltd was the brainchild of Paul Ward and Sara Rowan who, in 1994, decided that the time was right for a complete career change. Passionate believers in organics, they bought Mole End Farm in Chart Sutton and became the sole directors of Mole End Farms Ltd. This was followed by the purchase of Hartley Lands Farm at Cranbrook which they proceeded to convert to Soil Association organic standards and gradually over the years further holdings and organic orchards have been added.

In June 2017, after a long period of thought, deliberation and soul searching, Sara Rowan decided that the time was right to leave the business to pursue new challenges. Sara is an accomplished artist and had several commissions that she had been asked to do – she also hoped that weather permitting, she would have more time to ride her beloved Harley!

Paul Ward remains as Owner and director of Mole End Farms Ltd with his wife Jules Ward as company secretary with a strong board of directors in Nicoleta Ionita as Farm Management director, and James Langley-Hunt as Business Director, CEO.
