In this Growth Trust Podcast, we focus on how to manage business growth over the long-term, even when fortune throws you curve balls you least expect. We speak to Darren Thomas, Group Managing Director of Thomas Foods International, a company that has achieved sustained growth over many years and rebounded spectacularly after a fire in 2018 destroyed much of its Murray Bridge plant. Under the stewardship of Darren and his father Chris Thomas – who’s now Executive Chairman – Thomas Foods International has grown from a small family enterprise into Australia’s largest one-hundred-percent locally owned red meat processing company. And it’s grown steadily despite a devastating setback. Joining Darren is our host Ron Kandelaars and Ryan Williams, Director of the Australian Centre for Business Growth.
