Colmore in Conversation with Tim Haywood: From the Boardroom to the Vineyard

Drawing on decades of experience as FD of multiple FTSE-250 listed businesses, Tim reflects on also leading sustainability at a time when many saw it as incompatible with profitability. He explains why ethical practices and financial success can go hand in hand, offering a broader view of what makes a business successful.

After years in corporate roles, Tim and his wife, Bev, began to question whether they wanted to remain in the same comfortable routine. That reflection led them to Astley Vineyard, where they have built a family business rooted in sustainability and a new sense of purpose. They now also run a consultancy, helping others move into new careers and pursue long-held ambitions.

Tim’s insights are relevant at any stage of life – there is always a way to do the right thing while protecting your own happiness.
