About Us
CEO Rob Haward 80% approve of Rob Haward's performance Founded 1987 Company size 1,001 to 5,000 Revenue £18m to £73m (GBP) Industry Agriculture Link Riverford Organic Farmers website Riverford began in 1987, when Guy Singh-Watson started growing organic veg in a field of his parents’ Devon farm and delivering it to local friends. We’ve come a long way from one man and a borrowed tractor – but farming keeps our feet firmly on the ground. Every week, Riverford delivers organic food to around 90,000 homes and businesses across the UK. This takes loads of brilliant people, from growers to IT experts, and more besides! We’re a friendly, forward-thinking bunch, and our three core values – Stronger Together, Do Things Well and Independence – run through everything we do. We celebrate diversity, valuing, supporting and developing the whole person as an equal opportunities employer. Success means much more than just profits; we want Riverford to be a place people enjoy coming to work, and a business our co-owners feel proud of. In 2021, we were delighted to be awarded two-star Best Companies accreditation, recognising Riverford as an ‘outstanding’ place to work. We’re also proud to be a B Corp – a certification for ethical businesses who work not just for profit, but also to benefit people and the planet. What’s a co-owner? ‘Co-owner’ is what we call ourselves instead of ‘employees’ or ‘staff’. In 2018, Riverford became employee owned, so working here makes you a co-owner. It’s not just a name; every co-owner can play a part in shaping our business.
