Spring Sheep Milk Co. announces new CEO Spring Sheep Milk Co. has recently announced that co-founder Nick Hammond has stepped into the role of Chief Executive Officer on the same day the company celebrated its sixth year in business – Wednesday, 1 September. Since Spring Sheep Milk Co.’s inception in 2015, Hammond has played a pivotal role as co-founder and Chief Operating Officer. With his impressive breadth of knowledge across genetics, farm systems, processing and innovation, Hammond will take over the leadership position from Scottie Chapman, who is stepping down into a part-time and advisor position. Hammond is excited about what the future holds for Spring Sheep Milk Co. “We are in a high growth phase and on track to have over 40,000 sheep supplying milk in the next four years. “While the sheep milk industry was relatively new to Aotearoa when we founded the business in 2015, sheep milk is a multi-billion dollar industry globally. We are excited that so many high-calibre Kiwi farmers have embraced this more sustainable emerging
industry and we are hugely encouraged by consumer response to our products in our export markets. The team and I are excited to lean into this next phase of Spring Sheep Milk Co. as the business scales.” Spring Sheep Milk Co. started with a single farm and has since achieved 60 per cent growth year on year. The company is now the largest sheep milking group in the Southern Hemisphere. In total, 16 farms milk over 12,700 sheep, including Spring Sheep’s very own breed, the Zealandia®; a testament to the innovation of the company. The company has recently taken home the title of Best Infant Nutrition at the World Dairy Innovation awards, beating heavyweight competitors like Nestle.
