Bob King

Bob has retired from a career in the malting industry where his primary responsibility was the procurement of malting barley and other grains for maltings in the UK, Germany and Poland. Other responsibilities included energy procurement and risk management. During his career Bob has represented the malting industry on various industry-wide bodies including the former AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds Board and the Recommended List Barley, Oats and other Cereals crop committee, and the working parties that inaugurated the Assured Combinable Crops Scheme (Red Tractor) and Scottish Quality Cereals.

Since retiring he has been working with the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association on sustainable food production and wider food education. Bob hopes to use his position on the Cereals & Oilseeds Sector Council to not only represent the interests of the malting industry but also to further the movement towards sustainable food production both environmentally and economically.
