Yagro

We are delighted to be partnering with the YAGRO board to appoint their new Managing Director as the business looks to the next stage of their exciting growth journey. 

Trusted by leading farms across the UK, YAGRO was founded in 2015 with a vision to change the way data and information is used in farming. Offering an innovative suite of crop performance reporting tools, YAGRO helps growers continually optimise and refine their practices to ensure farm-based decisions are well-informed, mitigate risk, safeguard the environment and work towards maximum efficiency and profitability. 

In a landmark acquisition for the UK agri-tech sector, YAGRO was acquired in 2021 by the UK’s leading crop production and grain marketing partner Frontier Agriculture to offer their core business, and the wider agriculture industry, a trusted and proven data partner to empower insight and decision making. By joining Frontier as an independent standalone (but not left alone) subsidiary company, YAGRO has gained the resource and investment to support their future growth plans and fast-track their strong pipeline of products under development. 

Having moved to new, purpose designed headquarters at St Johns Innovation Park in Cambridge, this exciting leadership opportunity will succeed YAGRO’s co-Founder/ Managing Director Gareth Davies following his decision to step back from the business later this year. In a sector accelerating towards more purpose for data, this pivotal role will guide the organisation through a critical transition phase, shaping the trajectory of the company from ‘start up to scale up.’
