Fodder King Ltd, agribusiness specialising in plant-protein.

Still a director of a small agribusiness (non-listed public company) that has developed IP (with more in the pipeline) enabling efficient delivery of plant protein for animal and human consumption.

We’ve been told by numerous ‘experts’ that we are in a ‘sweet spot’ in a high growth industry but have thus far failed to attract sufficient capital to list the company and secure profitable production scale.

If we do overcome this nexus we should become a $AUD 3.5Bn company.

Retirement, therefore, is contingent on achieving our business goals. So I’m well incentivised!

Interests

Sue and I maintain our sanity in different ways. Sue is quite an accomplished mosaic artist and I have been learning Indonesian for some years, culminating in an MA.

Reflections and memories of IMI

Inspired by that great marketing story about the resurrection of the Swiss watch industry I’m currently wearing my 10th SWATCH.
I don’t remember much else, although I’m still very disappointed at the non-attendance of Trond at the 2014 reunion and sincerely hope that the Singapore reunion doesn’t clash with the Norwegian deer hunting season.
