OUR PEOPLE

“Every day at Hewitt I’m inspired to do the best for our people, animals, environment, and community. Our purpose sets a tone of great ambition, creating a unique passion in our teams, and signalling our intentions to the world.”

Mick, alongside his brother Ben, began his working life as a station hand before moving into property management roles. With an extensive operational background, Mick led the successful negotiations to create one of Australian agriculture’s largest and most innovative, industry focused joint ventures.

Mick is Group CEO and Managing Director of Hewitt, and sits on the board of Arcadian Organic and Natural Meat Co (trading as Hewitt), Western Plains Pork and Aurora Dairies.

“Our purpose reflects the way Hewitt has done business for generations. And doing the right thing, all of the time, creates opportunities we can maximise.”

Ben, like his brother Mick, began his operational learning as a station hand. For over 25 years, Ben has driven sustainable and profitable business outcomes through his expertise in sustainable land, pasture and herd management techniques and property selection. Today he manages over 230,000 head of livestock across Central and Northern Queensland, Northern Territory and New South Wales.

Ben is Chief Executive Agribusiness and Executive Director of Hewitt, and sits on the board of Arcadian Organic and Natural Meat Co (trading as Hewitt) and Western Plains Pork.

“I love the authentic nature of all who work here; the sustainable and natural product we produce; the ambition to become a true global leader; and shareholders who are values-driven to care for our people, our environment and our livestock”.
