Celebrating ARAgS Recognition for CEO & Farmer, Rebecca Tonks

We're delighted to shine a spotlight on a very special achievement for our CEO, Rebecca Tonks, who earlier this year was awarded ARAgS (Associate of the Royal Agricultural Societies).

The ARAgS designation is a respected professional accolade within the agricultural industry, recognising individuals who have made a significant contribution to agriculture, food production and the wider rural sector.

Awarded through the Council for Awards of Royal Agricultural Societies (CARAS), it celebrates leadership, expertise and a commitment to driving the industry forward.

Having received the award earlier this year, Bex recently attended the formal celebration event alongside fellow recipients from across the UK. The occasion was made even more memorable by the presence of HRH The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, who attends the ceremony every five years to recognise those being honoured.

For Bex, the recognition reflects years of dedication to championing British farming, supporting producers and helping shape the future of the industry. Under her leadership, St. Ewe has continued to grow while staying true to the values that have been at the heart of the business from day one: putting people, poultry and planet first.

The achievement is also a proud moment for the wider St. Ewe family. While the award is presented to an individual, it reflects the collective effort, passion and ambition of the people behind the business. From our producers and packing teams to colleagues across every department, this recognition highlights the impact that can be made when everyone works towards a shared vision.

Adding an extra touch of significance to the occasion, it felt like a full-circle moment for St. Ewe. Princess Anne, who attended the ARAgS celebration, officially opened our new packing centre back in 2022, making this latest milestone all the more meaningful.

Congratulations, Bex, on this well-deserved recognition. We couldn't be prouder to see your contribution to agriculture celebrated on a national stage.
