Adrian Townsend

Adrian is Managing Partner and founder of The 2S Group, a venture environmentalist company that invests in ethically profitable businesses that also enable the natural environment to thrive.

Our main area of expertise is managing the certified organic food supply chain, from farm to processing to consumer, through our brand Durham Farms. 

We manage a number of entities within New Zealand and operate them within the planetary boundaries and doughnut economics constructs. This enables our group to produce amazingly tasty food the “natural way” with traceability, trust and animal welfare at the forefront. We are proving that you can profitably farm with a smaller agricultural footprint whilst setting aside 25% of the land as protected, natural habitat for New Zealand’s amazing wildlife.

To enable our farming approach to grow, we offer sophisticated investors passive returns over a fixed term with funding secured on New Zealand land.

Adrian is also an experienced property investor, primarily in London, but with acquisitions in the greater UK market and overseas. He specialises in sourcing and acquiring land, and commercial and residential properties for both development and longer term investment. Adrian has created and manages a property portfolio in Central London, UK. 

Adrian is a qualified systems and process engineer, has worked in Engineering & Construction and has held senior positions within the Investment Banking arena.
