Ben Purcell is the former managing director of Brownes Dairy, WA’s largest and oldest dairy company. He passionately believes in WA farmers, driving re-investment in Brownes to promote a healthy and sustainable local dairy industry. His dedication to the industry is highlighted by the ‘Use Buy Date’ campaign in which Western Australians were encouraged to exchange their used yoghurt containers for Brownes yoghurt.
The school children factory tours at the Brownes factory in Balcatta have recently been restarted by Mr Purcell because of his passionate belief in nutrition and the food chain education.
