Management & Governance
The organisational structure and the governance framework underpinning PrimePork.
8.1 Organisational structure
| Position | Mandate | Profile sought |
|---|---|---|
| Chief Executive Officer | Strategy, capital, key customer relationships | 15+ yrs food-processing / meat-industry leadership |
| Chief Financial Officer | Treasury, working capital, covenants | CA(SA); agro-processing or manufacturing background |
| Chief Operating Officer | Plant, deboning, cold chain, yield | Proven pork/meat processing operations record |
| Commercial Director | Retail, food-service & export accounts | FMCG/meat sales; retail programme experience |
| Head of QA & Food Safety | Pork 360, HACCP, FSSC 22000, export | Registered food-safety professional; export certification |
| Procurement Director | Biosecure carcass sourcing, supplier mgmt | Pork producer network; disease-risk management |
8.2 Governance framework
- Board of 8: two founder/executive, two PE-nominated, one IDC and
one DBSA observer, two independents including chair; audit & risk
and social & ethics committees - Monthly management accounts within 10 business days; quarterly
covenant certificates (DSCR, gearing, yield, utilisation,
days-sales-outstanding) - Food-safety and biosecurity governance: HACCP team, supplier
audits, traceability review, disease-contingency protocols - Annual external audit; independent asset and inventory
verification; comprehensive insurance (assets, business interruption,
product liability/recall, cold-chain)
The team is defined by role, not by named, contracted individuals —
and this venture’s aggressive ramp places an unusually high premium on a
proven operator team: a CEO and COO with demonstrable pork-processing
scale-up track records, and a Commercial Director who can convert the
capacity plan into contracted retail and export volume. For a R385m
raise, DFI credit committees will require signed principals as a
condition precedent. The plan should be read as conditional on securing
operators who have built comparable processing businesses
before.
