A tradition of looking forward

Ade joined the business in 2023 & brings a wealth of knowledge and contacts. Ade has worked in the industry & connected sectors for several decades.

A fire cooked Tomahawk steak with the family is always a cherished moment, even more so with a glass of Malbec in hand.

Bin joined the business in 2020, to take on the responsibility of growing and managing the beverage ingredients side of the business. Bin has been in the industry since 2005, previously working for other UK food ingredients importers and one of the largest apple and red fruit concentrate producers in the world.

Bin spends most of his free time with his young family. His favourite food is a BBQed rib-eye, washed down with a glass of full bodied red wine.

Guy joined the Bryan W Nash & Sons Ltd team in 2021 to help grow the beverage division. Guy comes from both a corporate and independent background within the food/beverage industry, spanning some 30 years.

Guy lives in Hampshire and is married to Sarah. They have two boys in their 20’s. Food is important to all of us, but seafood and Asian cuisine is usually high on the list. Not forgetting a glass of red of course.

Matthew, son of the founder, joined the business in 1985 upon completing his college education. At that time, the team consisted of just three people, including his father, Bryan, so it was very much a case of “all hands on deck”! As the company has grown, Matthew has divided his time between his commercial responsibilities and the overall management of the business.

He is married to Caroline, who also plays a key role in the company as HR Manager. Food & drink is not only important to Matthew at work. At home, his current favourite combination is barbecued butterflied leg of lamb accompanied by a glass or two of Saint-Émilion.

Natalie joined the company in 2023 as Executive Assistant to Matthew & Caroline Nash, as well as supporting the wider Bryan W Nash & Sons team.

Whilst Natalie enjoys Italian food with a decent glass of Gavi, desserts in general are her favourite and will never turn down a slice of cheesecake!

Scott joined the business in 2025, having worked in the bakery ingredients sector for the past 11 years in various roles, including Finance, Procurement and Sales, where his passion really lies. He loves building relationships with customers, helping them to develop their businesses and overcoming any challenges they may have.

Outside of work Scott enjoys spending time with his young family and the occasional run when he can! Working in the bakery industry, of course Scott’s favourite food is a great artisanal sourdough, accompanied by cured meats and a glass of red wine.

Trudi joined the business in 2015, back when the company worked out of the Nash family home. Originally a member of the Customer Services Team she moved to Finance for a while before taking on her current task of supporting the Commercial Team.

Mark likes nothing more than to savour a perfectly cooked piece of steak accompanied by a full-bodied wine.

Caroline joined the business on a part-time basis in 1997. As her background is in HR, Caroline has always been involved in the recruitment and welfare of the staff, along with being heavily involved in Customer Services. As a result of the company’s growth, the HR function has become more time-consuming and now Caroline concentrates solely on this area.

Caroline enjoys most food but her favourite must be Middle-Eastern, home cooked and shared with family and friends, preferably outside and with a glass of something sparkling.
