James Young
James joined McCain Foods in September 2021 as Vice President, Agriculture for the GB & Ireland business. This involves the sourcing of over 700,000t of potatoes annually from trusted growers across the UK, with many of those relationships stretching back to when the McCain family first opened a processing facility in the UK in 1969.
The Agriculture function at McCain also includes our seed operations based in Montrose, and the initial stages of potato processing in our plants.
James is a graduate of the University of Newcastle with a degree in Agriculture, and lives near Beverley, East Yorkshire.
