Sharpham Dairy is the UK’s first B-Corp cheesemaker, a seemingly daunting challenge, but as a family business, the B-Corp values were already their own…
Cheesemaking at Sharpham began over 40 years ago, and the story written by current owners Greg and Nicky Parsons is one that they hope lasts for generations to come.
Greg & Nicky share the story behind their first 6 years in charge, and their ambitions for the future, as they join us on It Runs In The Family!
This episode covers:
- The family business’ transition and succession across the decades
- Embracing community and collaboration in Devon
- Challenges from the pandemic, and how they adapted as a family to keep the business going
- Aligning values and purpose, as reflected in their B-Corp certification
- The next generation and looking at the business through a lens of longevity
