Food Chain sits down with Company Directors, Elwyn and Andrew Griffiths, to learn more about Griffiths Family’ s heritage and the key factors driving its continued success. Elwyn begins our conversation by offering insight into how Aled and Olwen’ s passion and perseverance inspired his and Gareth’ s approach to leadership and how the business mitigates new challenges presented by an increasingly tumultuous macroeconomic landscape.
“ Our father, Aled Griffiths, recently passed away at the good age of 95. Our current business reflects how our parents started out – with nothing but a dream, a vision, and a work ethic to achieve,” Elwyn shares.“ Over the years, we’ ve invested in innovation and new technology, and travelled to all parts of the world, adopting science-based knowledge and being open-minded to change. We’ ve borrowed money and reinvested our own profits into expanding and evolving the business, which has given us the flexibility to adapt to the unstable world that we live in. It’ s important that the next generation can grasp all of the different parts of the business so we can cooperate and form close trading partners to secure our future. We’ re going to continue to lead by example, support and find the best in our people and allow them to grow with us. It’ s all about working hard, playing hard, and enjoying what you do.”
